School board approves updated local gifted education plan, shifts progress monitoring to IXL
Summary
The board approved an updated local gifted education plan that clarifies screening and progress-monitoring language and replaces MAP with IXL for grades 2'12; the plan adds work-sample monitoring and aligns the math acceleration table with the adopted handbook.
Dr. Browning explained changes to the local gifted plan, saying the advisory council clarified use of parent surveys and student work samples and updated progress monitoring procedures. She described the switch from MAP to the IXL platform for grades 2'12 and noted that K— grades will continue to use existing literacy screeners for oral comprehension data.
The plan adds a rubric-based work-sample approach to monitor progress and provide parent feedback. Board members asked about parent representation on advisory bodies; staff said they would seek additional parent members and return to the board with nominations.
