District dashboard shows higher graduation, declines in math and ELA; homeless students flagged for differentiated assistance
Summary
District staff reported a 95% graduation rate (up 4.7 points) and declines in English language arts and math; the district was identified for differentiated assistance for students experiencing homelessness and plans targeted interventions with Marin County Office of Education.
District staff presented a California State Dashboard overview showing 7,247 students enrolled in 2024–25, with 48.3% of students classified as socioeconomically disadvantaged, 18.1% English learners and 0.2% foster youth (unduplicated pupil count). The presentation noted declines of 4.6 points in English language arts and a 5‑point decline in mathematics performance, while graduation increased by 4.7 points to 95% and chronic absenteeism was reported at 9.2%.
Presenter Dr. Signard told trustees that the district will partner with the Marin County Office of Education for differentiated assistance focused on students identified as homeless, and emphasized ongoing work on tier 1 instruction, multi‑tiered systems of support and professional development. Trustees asked staff to provide cohort and subgroup breakdowns (including historical comparison data) and pressed for clarity on how proficiency‑based education and curriculum changes will connect to state assessment results.
