Summary

School leaders reported favorable local climate-survey responses (e.g., ~80% of respondents say their child feels they belong), said accreditation materials are due in February, and noted a federal literacy grant application is underway while CRDC reporting is complete.

School leaders told the board a recent local climate survey produced largely positive feedback: the presenter cited that roughly 80% of respondents said "my child feels he or she belongs" and 84% said "I feel welcome at this school." The district plans to use survey results to guide parent engagement and partners-in-education work.

Superintendent reported the accreditation process has 21 subtopics this cycle with 16 currently complete and evidence due to the Office of Public Instruction by the end of February. Staff also said they are preparing an application for a federal literacy grant that previously provided multi-year funding and that annual CRDC reporting is completed and due in March.

Board members were briefed on how the district plans to use local survey data with REL Northwest and school leadership to refine curriculum mapping and family engagement. The board received no vote on these items but was informed of timelines for grant submissions and accreditation evidence.
