What happened

The middle school principal told the board that 7th and 8th grade performance dipped last year, with math a focus, and presented a plan built on priority standards, classroom feedback and frequent checks of learning. The board asked for a mid-year update in January.

Why it matters to families

The district improvement plan focuses on middle school growth, so families may see changes in teaching and support.
