Board discussion emphasizes reducing screen time, limits of iReady, class size and STEM support
Summary
Board members and administrators discussed district priorities for FY27, calling out a desire to reduce instructional screen time, to treat iReady as "a snapshot," and to preserve class sizes and STEM resources embedded in the library; no formal action was taken at the session.
At the Jan. 15 special meeting, Windsor Locks board members and administrators held a robust discussion about instructional and program priorities for FY27. The minutes record collective concerns and priorities including: reducing screen time in instruction; ensuring that iReady assessments are used only as a snapshot of student learning rather than the sole measure; preserving current class sizes; and preserving or expanding STEM resources housed in the library.
The meeting minutes do not attribute these individual points to named board members or administrators; they are recorded as shared priorities discussed by the group. No motions or votes on these items were made at the special meeting; participants were reminded of upcoming meeting dates and encouraged to vote on the FY27 budget at future sessions.
