Agenda

• School improvement plan
  • This year, money was spent on:
    •  1.5 ESL coaching, teaching, and math.
    • Parent liaison
• Current Goals
  • 83% of students will master learning
  • Scores in math will have improved by 5% in spring
  • Scores in ELA will have improved by 5% in spring

  • Teachers are ensuring mastery through CFAs etc.

• IXL reading scores from January
  • Over 400 are far below grade level
  • 150 are not pinpointed (weren’t here to take the test)
  • About 150 are on grade level.
  • About 230 are above grade level.
  • Acadience isn’t much of an option here as all teachers would need to be trained to give that test. It would also cost time and money.
• Comparing the bell curve
  • Overall we’re at the 45th percentile so we’re a little below average.
  • Overall our scores put us between 40th and 51st percentile.
  • Utah and MLMS are pretty average overall.
• IXL math scores from January
  • 165 incomplete
  • 187 Above grade level
  • Overall, IXL fits with our rise scores and gives us more accurate data. 

  • For MLMS we have targeted demographics that are scoring less than others (ELLs, students with disabilities, etc.)

• MLMS School Improvement Plan 24-25
  • We are currently on track for goal #1
  • On track and currently at 21.4% 
  • On track and currently at 58.6%
• Proposals for upcoming school goals;
  • Goals should be items that improve student learning in areas of most need.
  • Goals should be able to affect the learning of all students and instruction of teachers
  • Goals need to be directly tied to any expenses paid for from the trust lands funds.
• Proposal form leadership team:
  • Goal #1: Utah RISE assessments will be within 20% of the classroom assessments given. For non-rise areas at least 85% of students will demonstrate DOK level 3 or higher on summative classroom assessments.
  • Goal #2: 80% of our students will make a year’s worth of growth on the school wide math inventory during the 25-26 school year.
  • Goal #3: 80% of our students will make a year’s worth of growth on the school wide reading inventory during the 25-26 school year.
• Proposals for upcoming school funding:
  • 1.5 additional FTE = $160,000 (ELA 1 or 1.5 and Math .5)
  • IXL per content area = $10,000 (possibly add science or pay)
  • Parent liaison = $24,000
