Ms. Lewis stated they TIS June visit was through email and included follow-up from the May visits and discussion on the completion of 11.6 goals.  Overall TIS did well, however there needs to be a focus on improving math scores since there was a decrease.  Ms. Lewis and Dr. Clopton-Zymler do have a plan for math as well as literacy going into the 23/24 school year.

One of the 11.6 goals is board attendance is 75%.  We are currently at 88%.  An update for the end of the year will be given after this meeting.  

Mr. King reviewed a Power Point Presentation on the NWEA test scores for all three schools.  There was decline in math and ELA scores across the model.  She then presented the raw data for the Ohio State Testing.  The scores have not been officially released so there is no comparison data to other schools.

Mr. Nicolay asked Ms. King, what is the plan now?  Ms. King explained that the current school improvement plans will not change We will continue to focus on developing the adults in the schools by conducting professional development, individual coaching, building substitute teachers and providing a library of resources for teachers to reference.
