Liberty School District moves district assessments to December to speed January interventions
Summary
District staff moved district-level assessments into December so intervention teams can begin profile meetings and interventions in January; Mr. Sayers said profile meetings were held on the 14th and 16th to review data and adjust supports.
Liberty School District board members heard that staff shifted district-level assessments into December to allow intervention teams to start targeted work immediately in January.
"They recommended we move up all of our district level assessments in December so we can get back in January and just kick right off with interventions and profile meetings," said Mr. Sayers, who gave the elementary and junior-high report. He said profile meetings were already held "on the 14th [and] 16th" to review student data and determine needed adjustments to interventions.
In his report, Mr. Sayers said the district is using the profile meetings to decide which students need intensified supports and which need enrichment. He described the intervention teachers as beginning to implement new interventions in classrooms during the interim period after the December administration.
The Chair did not record formal board discussion or dissent on the scheduling change during the meeting and the item was presented as an operational update rather than a board decision.
