Elementary report: PLC Plus work and 14 teachers enrolled in LETRS literacy training
Summary
Miss Kaye told the board the elementary is deepening its PLC work and implementing LETRS (a two‑year, unit‑based literacy training); 14 teachers are enrolled and will be LETRS‑certified upon completion; math PD is also rolling out.
Miss Kaye delivered the elementary report and described ongoing instructional work and professional development. She said the building continues PLC Plus conversations focused on instruction and impact, and that the district has 14 teachers participating in the LETRS (Language Essentials for Teachers of Reading and Spelling) two‑year program (about 18 hours per unit across 10 units) to support systematic reading instruction.
Kaye said teachers receive a certificate of completion and may opt to pay for additional college credit; the presenter framed LETRS as a widely accepted, intensive literacy program supported by the state. She also noted a math training rollout (Building Math Minds) for several teachers and regular Wednesday PD sessions at the building level. The board asked clarifying questions about certification and the schedule; Kaye said LETRS certification would result in a certificate of completion and optional college credit.
