SUPERINTENDENT REPORT |
| Michael Green reported that this was a non-student staff workday. There was a lot of positive work going on throughout the buildings today, with departments working together. He attended a WMS Math Team work group. The WPS & WIS were working on grade level teams and math assessment data. Staff were given the chance to explore the opportunity of learning walks. It was a great opportunity to do in-depth work, a very valuable day. On October 26th, KWRL will have its annual State of KWRL meeting that will include 2 board members from each district. The primary topics will be bus depreciation and purchasing and the next steps for the KWRL property that was recently purchased. Janice Watts said she'd check her calendar, but thinks she can attend. Tina Cayton said she would go to the meeting. Bill Woodard said that he will check his schedule. They will contact Michael and let him know if they can attend. Jim Bays asked about the at-risk students that John Shoup referred to in his report. John deferred to Dan Uhlenkott to discuss this with the Board. Dan said that they took students who had low GPA's as 8th graders, who are now freshmen and placed them with senior mentors. The students had a say in who was chosen as their mentor. Aaron Blackwelder is overseeing this program. The mentors see to it that students work on their assignments and help them study for tests. The grades aren't in yet, but the program looks successful. The Board discussed this program with John, Dan and Asha. Asha said that the work that staff is doing with reviewing data and providing strategies for targeted students early on, may help have fewer freshmen who will have to utilize this program in the future. |
