- We had two presentations with the first being on the district’s push for an alternate pathway to diploma for students with severe cognitive disabilities.
- We learned about SB 74 and the workgroup that came from that bill that examined how to best implement these alternative pathways.
- These diplomas would still have to meet requirements into English, Math, PE, 130 credits, and ethnic studies forthcoming by 2030.
- There will be parent information sessions forthcoming.
- Our second presentation was a Mid-Year Instructional Update.
- iReady participation is moving at a steady pace with 92% participation in math and 83% participation in Reading for students with disabilities.
- Coaching walkthroughs are being done now to help teachers and provide them feedback on lessons.
- There are also monthly regional support meetings that will be held for the 2024-25 school year.
- Our next and final meeting will be on May 1, 2024 at 5:00 pm.
