Superintendent proposes 10% proficiency gain by May 2027 tied to new grading and curriculum changes

Dr. Griffin presented the first strategic priority: a measurable target for student achievement that ties instructional changes to outcomes. "By May 2027, district proficiency rates in reading and mathematics will grow 10% through HQIM, high quality instruction materials and targeted support pathways," she said, noting the district will rely on vetted instructional materials and clearer grading communications to families.

Board members questioned how the district would measure baseline proficiency and asked staff to return with clearer metrics and reporting frequency. The facilitator and superintendent proposed embedding the goal in the 45‑day scorecard so the board receives incremental updates and can adjust resources or supports if outcomes are not met.
