Board approves Khan Academy interim-assessment renewal; district clarifies cost history
Summary
Superintendent said the district will receive Khan Academy interim assessments for high school at no cost this year; presenters said the district previously paid about $10 per student after buying roughly 1,000 licenses.
The board approved a consent-item renewal that gives the high schools access to Khan Academy interim assessments at no cost this year.
Superintendent (speaker 7) summarized the item as: "So this, b is at no cost, for us for the high school to have those interim assessments." District staff clarified last year the district paid about $10 per student and had previously purchased about 1,000 licenses; access had been expanded unevenly across grades and the district is limiting the free package this year to high school students to align with state guidance and avoid duplicating middle-school interventions.
Board members asked about student counts and equity across buildings; staff said the district piloted the tool last year and is targeting the resource for grades 9–12 while continuing other intervention tools for younger grades.
