Board highlights attendance, curriculum alignment and teacher training as priorities
Summary
Following the Munetrix demonstration the board discussed chronic absenteeism (defined as 10+ missed days), curriculum alignment across grades, differentiation for varied student entry points, and recommended professional development and family engagement to address gaps.
The presentation identified three persistent challenges for Westwood Heights: chronic absenteeism (defined in the presentation as missing 10 or more days), inconsistent curriculum alignment across grades and buildings, and the need to balance differentiation for students who enter at different grade levels. Presenters emphasized that these issues affect proficiency and growth measures.
Actionable recommendations included investing in teacher professional development, using data-driven interventions such as small-group instruction, engaging families to reduce absenteeism and maintaining consistent curriculum frameworks across buildings. The presentation closed with a set of review questions and a list of actionable insights for staff and board follow-up.
