Administrators report testing, music and athletics updates; district to attend truancy court
Summary
District administrators reported on testing (STAR, DIBELS, MAP, i-Ready), a successful winter concert and hosting Inland Northwest Musicians, donated bikes for reading incentives, and athletics schedule planning; the superintendent said she will attend truancy court as a last resort in attendance cases.
The meeting minutes record multiple administrative updates. SES (elementary) reported that the winter music concert took place and that STAR and DIBELS testing are ongoing; the district received three bikes donated by the Umatilla Masonic to award to students who earned reading tickets at the assembly, and staff expect to use i-Ready testing to evaluate Phonics First instruction and interventions. The minutes attribute the SES report to Lacey Sharp.
SSS (secondary) reported high school basketball activity, that the 6th‑grade band performed and that the district again hosted Inland Northwest Musicians for the third consecutive year. The minutes note a second round of MAP testing is scheduled for the following week, with a staff data inservice planned afterward; those outcomes will be included in the February board report. Athletic Director Lorena Woods provided a baseball schedule and said she is working on tennis and track schedules. Superintendent Beth Burton said she will attend truancy court next week for parents who were issued citations for student attendance as a last resort.
