Approve Shante Anderson Teaching Assignment
Per WAC 182-82-110 we are asking the Lumen board to approve Shante Anderson to teach math as an out-of-endorsement teacher. We have developed a support plan for Shante (including 10 hours of tutoring this summer) to give support for the time she is out-of-endorsement and working to study for and pass the math endorsement test. Shante will not be formally evaluated for any course she teaches as an out-of-endorsement placement.

Academic and Discipline Report Out
Melissa Pettey came to share about the academic committee and next steps. 2023-24 school year data was shared in regards to Lumen students learning and growth for the school year. Learning included that students need more math interventions, MAP assessments weren't set up correctly and students earned 56% of the credits they attempted.
Per Lumen policy 3241 the district periodically collected and reviewed data on disciplinary actions taken and it was disaggregated into subgroups in accordance with RCW 28A.300.0042. School discipline disproportionality report shared, there were 3 documented incidents in powerschool this year- 1 emergency expulsion of a black 12th grade female, 1 in school suspension of a white 11th grade female and 1 two- day suspension of a white 12th grade female. There were no statistical correlations that showed disproportionalities based on the re-occurrence rates, race groups being receiving disciplinary action.
