Board Goals Report: 
Student Achievement &
College & Career Readiness 
Dr. George Abel, assistant superintendent of Teaching & Learning, and Ryan Karjala, director of Information Systems, reviewed results of fall MAP testing and Literacy First which is used to gauge progress on Board Goals 1 & 3. The goals are:
  • Maintain a plan that consistently moves every student to read on or above grade level by end of third grade, and monitor and support a plan of action that will maintain or improve that level of excellence at subsequent grade levels while effectively supporting students not reading at grade level.
  • Rank consistently in the top quartile of Kansas and national school districts within the next five years for students prepared to be college and career ready.
MAP (Measures of Academic Progress) Assessments are given in the fall and spring at all grades. Data for this fall reflects an adjustment in the assessment, which is now aligned with the Common Core Standards in reading and math. If scores follow the trend from past years, we expect a steep growth by the spring test. The MAP scores also are a reliable predictor of students' scores on the ACT, which is a measure of College & Career Readiness.
