Board urged to adopt data‑driven decisions, aligned curriculum and expanded professional development
Summary
Staff recommended using predictive, longitudinal data, expanding math interventions, aligning curriculum, and increasing professional development (including Science of Reading) to improve student outcomes across the district.
At the work session, district leaders recommended several system‑level changes to address the issues surfaced in the data review: adopt predictive data tools to anticipate student barriers, align curriculum across grade levels (particularly math), expand math interventions, and provide ongoing professional development—explicitly naming additional work on the 'Science of Reading' to support literacy gains.
Staff also proposed deeper stakeholder engagement—focus groups with students and families and stronger partnerships with community organizations—to bolster wraparound services (mental health, housing supports). The board asked staff to return with expanded reporting and actionable metrics in April to support implementation planning.
