Cascade SD 5 sets aspirational 80% math proficiency target under Integrated Plan
Summary
Cascade School District #5 leaders presented the Integrated Plan, proposing a review of the RTI program, a K‑12 testing schedule and an aspirational 80% math proficiency goal; administrators asked the board for non‑financial support such as school visits and feedback.
Cascade School District #5 board members met Oct. 13, 2025 in Turner to review the district's Integrated Plan and related program goals. Director of Education Bryan Dyer and High School Assistant Principal/CTE Director Toni Wallisa told the board that all goals and initiatives described are funded by the Integrated Plan and that planned strategies include a review of the current RTI program and a testing schedule beginning in kindergarten.
Dyer highlighted statewide math performance and described an "aspirational goal of 80%" proficiency that Cascade is proposing as a target. He told the board he values members' questions and input: "I appreciate that the Board continually asks good questions enabling me to fine tune the program in order to be supportive of all students from kindergarten to 12th grade." The presentation invited non‑financial board support such as monitoring implementation, classroom visits and targeted policy questions rather than additional funding alone.
The discussion focused on implementation details: how RTI adjustments would be measured, the cadence and coverage of the proposed testing schedule, and ways the board can provide oversight and encouragement. The district did not provide a breakdown of current proficiency levels or an implementation timeline in the minutes; those items were noted as follow‑up subjects for administrators.
