Board hears 2026–27 school improvement plan with attendance, PD and discipline goals

Speaker 6, identified here as the presenter, summarized the OSTI 2026–27 school improvement plan and the team's membership. The presenter said the plan centers on three SMART goals: adopt a common agenda template to improve collaboration (target: 90% use by June 2027), require teacher professional development on school‑wide strategies that support a portrait of a graduate, and reduce chronic absenteeism through classroom‑level outreach and incentives.

On absenteeism the presenter said the third goal is already a high priority: "the 3rd smarty goal is that, we're really working on, dissolving chronic absenteeism," and described classroom strategies, regular teacher check‑ins, and incentives to increase attendance. The presenter also noted that discipline referral forms will be distributed to teachers by September and that safety drills and a new character‑education program will be implemented during the year.

Board members asked clarifying questions about metrics and implementation. The presenter said success measures would include use of the agenda template, PD attendance and classroom evidence of strategy use, and teacher reflections tied to student proficiency. The board asked staff to continue coordination with teachers and to report progress in future packets.
