At the workshop, Julie outlined Lisbon Community School’s ATSI targets: raising overall ELA achievement from 54.12% to 60.3% and reducing chronic absenteeism from 17.9% to 12.9% by the 2026–27 school year. She also described subgroup targets, including increasing math achievement and growth for students with disabilities and improving ELA growth for other subgroups.
Julie acknowledged the absenteeism reduction is an ambitious goal but said last year’s gains and new interventions give school leaders confidence. Committee members asked for clarifications about subgroup baselines and Julie corrected a wording error in the materials and offered to provide more detailed subgroup breakout data.
