High school advisory change halves D/F rates, administrators say
Summary
High school staff redesigned the weekly advisory block to provide targeted help for students identified during PLCs; administrators reported the change has "cut the number of D's and F's in half" compared with last year and are tracking co-curricular participation toward an 80% benchmark.
Matt Austin told the Finance/Personnel Committee that the high school's advisory block was restructured this year so that, each Wednesday at the end of PLC meetings, staff select students who need extra help and assign them to rooms during advisory for targeted support. Austin said the shift "has currently cut the number of D's and F's in half compared to last school year."
Austin also reported the district is tracking student involvement in two or more co-curricular activities as part of its Measures That Matter reporting. "In the previous school year there were 78.3% of the students meeting that benchmark," he said; the district has set an annual goal of 80% or higher. Committee member Will Harris asked staff to provide additional data showing how many students participate in only one activity and how many participate in none, so staff can follow up with students who face barriers to participation. The committee did not vote on any changes at the meeting.
