Board hears reading gains midyear; staff outlines interventions for students two grades behind
Summary
Administrators described midyear reading diagnostics: 66 students moved to on-grade-level reading, 47 moved out of one grade level below, and staff detailed IEP and ELD subgroup support and RTI strategies.
District administrator Alicia reported measurable midyear reading growth: "We've increased 66 kids into on grade level material" and noted 47 students moved out of one grade-level below. She provided a breakdown of students two grades below (17 total: five on IEPs, three recent monolingual arrivals, three in ELD) and described individualized plans and parent outreach to address gaps.
Alicia said the district's goal is to shift classroom "yellow" indicators to 22% green and that staff are using RTI groups tied to specific skill targets. She also described efforts to place more informational books in classrooms and libraries (over 100 books purchased since September) to support grade-level reading.
