II. Reports

A.

Senior Management Team Reports

The K-8 principal shared K-8 ELA/Math Comparisons for school years 22-23. Becky stated that our stats were higher at the beginning of the year but have recently decreased for ELA. Formative assessments are in order to improve test scores. Math comparisons are better targeting small groups.

 

The Executive Director shared 9-12 ELA/Math Comparisons for school years 22-23. Brian stated that Galileo is the most useful resource to provide data from last year.  11th grade Math had a huge jump on our graph. Continuing the interventions will have similar growth. He believes the choice of curriculum has decreased numbers there for we will use Eureka Math for instruction to fix issues.

 

Finance reports were shared and we are on track.

 

The Executive Director shared Senior Management update. We are slightly behind 2pts for student stability.

 

Dave Dillman provided an update for the Preschool construction. The 7/13/23 date of competition is still on track and project remains on budget.
