Board moves to raise student-achievement targets, asks for monthly data monitoring
Summary
Board members discussed raising performance targets (examples given of aiming for 90% proficiency and reducing chronic absenteeism) and asked staff to provide monthly monitoring reports and clear tactics tied to Solution Tree PLC work.
Board members debated increasing the district's academic and attendance goals to a higher target (board discussion repeatedly cited 90% as a desired benchmark). Chair (Speaker 1) summarized the intent: "So what we're talking about is raising these, you know, raising these percentages to something that we would like to see, like 90%." Staff said the move reflects training and an expectation-setting approach intended to push toward higher achievement rather than modest incremental targets.
District staff emphasized the need for tactical implementation and monitoring. Agency official (Speaker 2) and staff (Speaker 6) described monthly data dashboards, regular reviews with portfolio leadership and an itemized monthly agenda report showing progress and next‑30‑day actions. Board members requested non‑cherry‑picked samples of student work and suggested focus groups with parents or community members to align district and school goals.
