District highlights student growth, discipline improvements and staff contributions
Summary
Board recognized numerous teachers exceeding MAPS growth targets, accepted community donations for MAPS incentives, and heard school reports showing notable disciplinary reductions at Clara Brownell Middle School and improved hallway interactions at Umatilla High School following a cell phone ban.
During its Feb. 19 meeting the Umatilla School Board honored teachers who exceeded the district MAPS growth goal and thanked community partners for donations to support testing incentives. Rogers Subaru of Hermiston donated candy bars for MAPS testing incentives and Hermiston Generating Plant donated $500 to be used for MAPS incentives.
School leaders reported operational updates: Clara Brownell Middle School shared a sharp decline in second-quarter discipline metrics compared with the previous year (fights: 12 to 0; physical altercations: 8 to 0; skipping class: 7 to 0). At Umatilla High School Vice Principal Oscar Contreras noted that a recently implemented cell phone ban appears to have increased hallway verbal interactions and that tardiness remains the primary discipline concern.
The board also recognized staff and volunteers who supported the FTC robotics competition and other programs, naming multiple employees and community volunteers for their contributions.
