Administrators outline training, restorative-practice work and technology upgrades ahead of school year
Summary
District administrators reported summer work on restorative-practice scripts, data tools for monitoring student progress, room reconfigurations at the middle school, nonviolent crisis intervention training, and near-complete internet and Chromebook preparations ahead of the new year.
District administrators briefed the board on multiple start-of-year preparations: restorative-practices scripts for classrooms, stronger data-use processes to track academic gaps, middle-school space reconfiguration to create grade-level pods, and completion of nonviolent crisis intervention refreshers for special-education and student-services staff.
Technology Services reported migration away from an older online channel, Chromebook reimaging and staff training, and near-complete new internet installations (four boards remaining). The district also created "get ahead" meetings to ensure staff have technology and employment paperwork prepared before students arrive.
Leadership tied these activities to the district goal of "every student every day," saying training and facilities work are intended to improve student outcomes and consistency across classrooms. "We're putting it on a t-shirt. We're including it in our meetings. We're talking it. Um, that's how we're going to do things this year," a district presenter said.
