Board hears 2024–25 integrated-plan report; district highlights new SEL curriculum and a 0.5 FTE instructional coach hire
Summary
Staff summarized the integrated plan (formerly Student Investment Act work), adoption of Waybinder for SEL, partnership with EOU for science-of-reading training, and the hiring of Catherine Rodigaro as a 0.5 FTE instructional coach to support classroom instruction.
The board received the 2024–25 integrated-plan annual report outlining how state and federal initiatives are aligned to district strategic priorities.
The presenter (S4) said the district moved from the Student Investment Act into an "integrated plan" framework that bundles nine state and federal initiatives. She described curriculum choices and assessments used to track progress, noting the district adopted a new SEL curriculum (Waybinder) and uses a diagnostic tool (Wave Points) to monitor implementation. "Catherine Rodigaro was who we we hired," the presenter said when discussing a 0.5 FTE on-site instructional coach whose role is to support small-group instruction and early implementation needs.
The report stressed partnerships with Eastern Oregon University to train staff in the science of reading and set five-year longitudinal growth goals the district developed with state support. Board members asked for clarification on reported graduation and on-track metrics; staff said state reporting suppresses detailed values above 95% and that local subgroup performance remains a focus, particularly for students with significant medical needs or high service needs.
Board discussion emphasized chronic absenteeism and substitute staffing shortages as implementation constraints; staff outlined plans for in-service time redistribution and using early-in-service dates to deliver professional development without increasing substitute usage.
