MAP data showed large leaps for 2nd graders in reading and math.  Quality instruction and return to in-person learning were identified as important elements in the increase in scores.

Comparative data for Milestones was shared that identified performance above the district in reading at all grades except 6.  In mathematics, only one grade outperformed the district. CCRPI data was also shared.

Discipline Update
