Lyndsey Anderson | Lyndsey presented on the percentage of students making typical or above growth for their pathways of progress. She explained that every student in the school has their own pathway of progress in the Acadience Learning program that they are working toward throughout the year. At the middle of the year, 61% of students in our school are making typical or above growth toward their pathway goals. Our goal is to have our school at 72% by the end of the year. Lyndsey explained what the staff and teachers in the school are doing to do to work toward this goal. Some examples are strong/effective tier 1 instruction, teaching the 6 syllable types, research based practices, data discussed in PLC’s, skill checks and progress monitoring, etc. | |
Discuss Plan for 2025-2026 School Land Trust | Jen Thomas | Jen discussed the School Land Trust Plan and shared the plan with everyone. She printed it out for everyone to look at. She discussed that most of the things in the plan stayed the same. The plan is to use the funds for technology devices, paraprofessional salaries, and teacher professional development. Jen also discussed that the only thing that changed is the State Goal from 66% of students making typical growth on Acadience Pathways to 72% of students making growth. Jen will bring the full plan to the next Council meeting and we will vote on it and finalize it because it is due in March. |
