District annual report: 77% ninth‑grade on‑track amid staffing gaps and literacy shortfalls
Summary
The district reported a 77% Ninth Grade On‑Track rate and expansion of SEL and MTSS practices but noted staffing shortages, lack of an Indian Education Coordinator, inconsistent SEL implementation, and third‑grade proficiency still below targets.
Superintendent Helena Chirinian and district staff presented the district’s 2024‑25 annual reports and performance frameworks at the Aug. 20 meeting. The presentation highlighted a 77% Ninth Grade On‑Track rate, which the district attributed in part to programs such as the Keep Up Club at Azalea Middle School and expanded high school counseling.
The report also described expanding social‑emotional learning (SEL) and multi‑tiered systems of support (MTSS) with assistance from BELONG Partners and trauma‑informed training. At the same time, staff identified challenges including staffing shortages, the absence of an Indian Education Coordinator, inconsistent SEL implementation across schools, and third‑grade proficiency remaining below the district’s targets (specific third‑grade percentages were not provided in the minutes). Board members discussed how equity initiatives and SEL supports fit alongside budget reductions.
