Dr. DiPonio addressed student achievement and the district’s approach to supporting students who struggle on state assessments, saying media portrayals do not always match classroom realities.
"Kids often have a general apathy towards doing their best on standardized tests," DiPonio said, noting attendance and socioeconomic status as important factors when evaluating state-test results and deciding how to target interventions.
He described the district's efforts to review how to identify and assist students who do not succeed on state testing, but offered no new, formal policy changes during the Jan. 10 workshop.
