District to remove NWEA for grades 3–8, pilot new secondary assessment; Title grants audited
Summary
District staff reported removing NWEA testing for grades 3–8, piloting a standards-based interim assessment for grades 9–12, and said Title grants are being audited; staff said they are preparing documentation for the audit.
A district staff member reported a change to the formative-assessment approach: "This year, kids in grades 3 through 8 will no longer take NWEA," and said the district will pilot an interim assessment for grades 9–12 focused on standards mastery. The staff member framed the change as part of a move to reduce redundant testing and sharpen secondary-level math and ELA measures.
The same speaker said the district received notice that Title grants are being audited and that staff have begun preparing required documentation. No timelines or audit findings were provided in the meeting transcript; staff described the audit preparation as a "heavy lift."
