Minden Elementary students present; trustees question EPIC learning and SBAC declines
Summary
Principal Andrew Fromdahl and staff presented highlights from Minden Elementary. Trustees praised students but raised concerns that EPIC learning integration is not correlating with higher SBAC scores, prompting a staff review of implementation.
Minden Elementary Principal Andrew Fromdahl and Vice Principal Molly Ravenscroft presented school highlights and brought two students, Raegan Summers and Jamie Goering, to demonstrate school spirit. Trustees praised the students’ presentation; Mrs. Jansen called the slideshow "exceptional," and Mr. Zinke complimented Raegan and Jamie for their work.
Trustee Markus Zinke raised a substantive concern about academic outcomes, noting SBAC scores that have declined from the 50s and 60s and asking whether the district’s EPIC learning integration is correlated with the drop. Fromdahl said staff have formed a team and are investigating a disconnect in implementation between classroom practice and SBAC results. Trustees requested additional context on grading conversions and testing motivation as staff study the matter.
