Principals brief board on proficiency‑based grading rollout and next steps

Sartell‑St. Stephen School District Board (Independent School District No. 748) · June 4, 2026

Summary

Middle and high school principals reported progress and next steps for proficiency‑based grading, reviewing beliefs, reassessment guidance, reporting methods and priorities for the 2026‑27 school year; the board scheduled a follow‑up in January.

Middle School Principal Angela Safran and High School Principal Shayne Kusler presented an update to the board on Proficiency‑Based Grading (PBG) during the June 4 work session. Their overview reviewed the district's stated beliefs and goals for PBG, common classroom structures and practices, reassessment guidelines, reporting methods, and priorities for continued implementation during the 2026‑27 school year.

The principals emphasized implementation priorities for the coming school year but did not propose a specific district‑wide policy vote at this meeting. Board members placed a PBG follow‑up on the district calendar for January to assess progress and next steps. The presentation was accepted as information and no formal motion on PBG policy or timelines was recorded in the public work session minutes.

Board members did not record specific reassessment rules or reporting templates in the public summary; those operational details remain with building leadership and district staff for future review.
