IV. Superintendent Search Process Update

V.A. Recommendation to Receive Goal Monitoring Report on Interim Goals 4.3 3rd Grade Evidence of Learning Checks and 5.3 8th Grade Evidence of Learning Checks
Rationale

The Board will receive a report on Interim Goals 4.3 3rd Grade Evidence of Learning Checks and 5.3 8th Grade Evidence of Learning Checks. These goals are based on new metrics, so the presentation will focus on the research, rationale, and process used to develop and implement this new metric.

Goal monitoring is a conversation between the board and superintendent that provides boards the opportunity to evaluate the alignment between the community’s vision for student outcomes (goals) and current student performance/growth (reality). Monitoring is about understanding the extent to which reality matches the Board’s adopted goals / interim goals. Monitoring is not about offering advice or recommendations; most monitoring is about understanding where we are and how we got here and to see what’s working/not working, and the expectation that this information impacts what happens next.

VIII.P. Recommendation for Approval of Boundary Changes for Ramsey Middle School
Rationale

The School Choice plan, approved in June 2022, introduced boundary changes to enhance feeder patterns and establish the Choice Zone. To prevent long gaps without updates, like the prior 40-year delay, the plan included regular reviews. Since its 2023-2024 rollout, the District and consultant Woolpert have monitored school utilization to assess the impact and refine boundaries.

At the middle school level, Ramsey Middle is overutilized at 119% capacity. To address this, areas near Wheeler Elementary will shift to Carrithers Middle, and areas near the GE plant will move to Newburg Middle. Only incoming 6th graders will follow the new boundaries, allowing current 7th and 8th graders to stay at Ramsey. This phased approach minimizes disruption while solving capacity challenges with minimal impact.
