4-Current Data – Laura Wright
Student data Laura showed a chart with Acadience data. Language arts (Acadience data) compared data from BOY2020, EOY 2021, BOY2021, and MOY 2021. Data was still being collected from some grades for the MOY 2021. Math testing is using a new system (Acadience). The data reviewed included the Weber school district scores for at/above benchmark, below benchmark, and well below benchmark for grades K-3 to the Bates scores. 4th thru 6th do not use Acadience but had different math goals. 76% of 4th graders could place value understanding visual representations to solve multiplication problems with multi-digit numbers. 65% of 5th graders were proficient at operations through multi-digit decimals. 80% of 6th graders have mastery on Essential Math Targets except for fractions.
6-Discussion of school needs, budget, and plan for 2022-2023
We will reassess budgets/actuals spent in March to help understand budget needs. Sound systems are also starting to not function. Smart panels cost between $3600-4000 and we may need more in the future.
2022-2023 Plan: Faculty leadership feedback was preference to continue with similar trends/plan. Potential to increase Chromebook budget. Last years’ plan and template for this year’s plan will be sent out by Laura in February for council to preliminarily review before March meeting.
Motion: To adjourn meeting at 4:24 pm.
