So um finding teachers is going to be a challenge. uh the the earlier that we know how many students are we going to have the the greater the window of opportunity that opportunity that we're going to have to determine which grade levels uh we are going to need additional teachers. It is important May is a critical month because if something happens over the summer um we need to collaborate with our director of education uh Dr. Hono autumn director of education in HRDC to make sure that parents have a system in place to have access to their student records because if over the summer something happened or there there's a delay or something happened in the fall for enrollment um we want to make sure that before the end of May parents will have what they need in the event that they need to enroll the students in a different um alternative um um entity.
Thank you very much, President Creo, members of the board. If we could have our team join us. We can skip introductions. I think everybody knows everybody at this point in time. This is progress report three on goal four. As a reminder, goal four is to increase reading proficiency for all third graders. The goal is that the percent of third grade students that score proficient English language arts will increase from 18% in August 2023 to 41% by August 2028. With this goal, we have an annual target for the current year. The annual target is that our third grade students that score proficient on double ASA will increase from 17% in August of 24 to 22% by August 2025. We also have three current measures designed, I'm sorry, two current measures and an interim measure designed to measure our progress within the year along the way. Current measure 4.1 is that the current the percent of third grade students that score proficient on the DNA English language arts benchmark assessment will increase from 3% in August of 2024 to 10% by May of 2025.
Nevertheless, they scored 10 goals, but kick it over to Mckne. Mcknney over to Luke. Over to Marino, over to Whitler. We're around the [Music] net. Kicks it out to Jordan. Jordan will get a oneon-one. Just clear out and let Jordan do her work. Jordan fires it. She'll be getting an eight meter. Addy Jordan at the 8 meter mark. Jordan runs it in, bounces it off the post. Keney's there. She picks it up. Knee over to Marino. Marino with a little weave dodge to Trulio. Back to Mac. Mack looking. Nothing there. Mac over to Lucasic. Lucas goes in. Nothing there. Gets knocked away. Picks up the ball. We got to protect that ball a little bit better. Forced to pass, but Minichog with the ball. Throws the ball up to Nanome gets lucky with an unfair forced turnover. Kylie Marino with the ball. Looks like Kylie Marino didn't run fully onto the field.
So, um I want to bring that uh that um point in in in May. Um because what would happen is by not having those documents um it it it will delay the enrollment on our end uh impacting how the students are going to be in school. June is going to be um the golden month uh that is going to make us or break us. Um what do I mean by that? Um right now Babok Unifi School District wants to ensure that all students are enrolled on or before June 13th. By then we want uh we want to close the uh enrollment window and we want to make sure um by having the the maximum amount of students we then uh solidify that total number of vacancies needed. If we have any new parents, we want to make sure that we begin an orientations for new an orientation for new parents.
This unders this current measure underscores the importance of the post tests and they are more important than they have ever been even though we've done them in prior years. So I just want to put that out there. Post tests very important uh as relates to our current measure. Current measure 4.2 is about focuses on the percent of third grade students that pass the fastbridge a reading screener and increasing that percentage from 8% last May to 20% by this May. And Dr. Dupin, um, once again, can you remind me the difference between the DNA and the FastBridge? Absolutely. The DNA is a benchmark measure of standards attainment, the Arizona State standards. The FastBridge assessment is a screener of literacy skills, the building blocks that are necessary for the standards to be achieved. Thank you. And then just interum measure 4.3, the percent of kindergarten students that score at or above benchmark on the FastBridge literacy screener will increase from 11% in August of 2024 to 18% in May of 2025.
And another unforced turnover from East Almet goes right back to Minichog. Sarno with the ball. We can make something happen. She's met by Jordan. Manning with the ball. Grace Rapul goes to knock it away. Addie Jordan. Jordan kicks it. Nobody there. Oh. Oh, Addy almost with another knock. Good defense by Kylie Marino. Mchug runs the ball all the way behind the net. [Applause] Quickly gets the ball up to Lucas. Misome have a fouron four. Lucasich goes in through everybody turns around and shoots and scores. Nice goal by Caroline Lucasic to get her third goal of the game to put these Spartans up 11 to four. Spartans up 11 to four with 440 to go in the third quarter. Marino on the draw. Self draws. Gets the ball to herself. Gets the ball to Mack. M quickly gets the ball over the 30 yd line to set up the East Middle offense.
Uh we begin um um a a transcript review for new incoming um high school students to determine what credits they have, what attempts they they fail. So then we can put them in a plan of not only of credit recovery, but also set up a plan and meet with the parents and say this is why your child needs to be able to graduate. based on the credits that the child is coming in. Um the next one is to determine based on um any additional enrollment what u what additional buses uh what additional routes, how many new drivers we need and to begin recruiting any any potential vacancies. We need to determine how many new students are going to have IEPs, what programs they need, what related services they going to need to determine if we have is enough classrooms and not if not if not how many new classrooms or programs we need to open and equip for students with disabilities and then hire um the adequate um teachers um with the right credentials to be able to service the students.
So we're looking at um ultimately three sources of data. Tonight's report will focus on the DNA assessment and the FastBridge assessment. we continue to monitor. So, as a reminder for current measure 4.1, the data that we're speaking of this evening are um representative of interim benchmark 2 which was taken again Sarah Beth when what when did we take benchmark 2? It was J December. This is December. So, a lot has happened. January January. Okay. So a lot has happened since the benchmark was taken but these the data are for our report today. So we continue to monitor by school and by subgroup we are starting to see some variability open up across the different schools during the course of the year. So in our analysis of current measure 4.1, what we've observed is that the 2425 rate of third grade students scoring proficient on IBM2 is greater uh than the rate of is greater to the rate on the pre-EST and IBM 1, but less than IBM2 scores in 2324 and 223.
She sees a one-on-one. Blows by her. Just misses wide as Trulio is there to pick it up. She quickly gets the ball in. She's looking for somebody. She says, "Nope, I'll take it myself." Nice fat. Oh, nice pass by Trulio. Mac just barely misses it. Good defense by Lucas. Forcing her. Look good to me. Min deep into their defensive zone and Kasich playing defense on Jenna Carelli. She kicks it over. Gets it all the way back to Johnson. Johnson will kick it to Kosub. Ball's loose. Marino ends up with the ball. No. Miana Calibris with the ball and she gets crossch checked. Ball gets to Lucas. Lucas looks to set up the Summit offense. Jordan with a move. Oh, nice behind the back sneaky play by Jordan. Jordan sneaks one past the goalie for her fourth goal of the game. Spartan goal number. Spartans now up 12 to four.
based also on the number of students. it will be able to determine how much food we need to order ahead of time so that when school starts will we prepare for not only the students that we projected but any additional that we were not anticipating that um we we provided by June or we're enrolled by June also by June 13 if if we have um any additional students we need to determine how many laptops how many more um material we need uh because we order for based on the projection number of students that we have um that that we promote each year from grade level to grade level. But if we have any additional any additional students um it will give us a window of opportunity to place any additional orders that is going to be the the the key or the success that we that will propel us uh into June.
To reach current measure 2.1 by May, we need to maintain the percentage of students scoring proficient from IBM2. In the 2223 and 2324 school years, the percent of third grade students scoring proficient increased at least 9% between IBM 1 and IBM 2 and decreased 1 to 3% between IBM 2 and the post test. If past trends repeat, we will reach our goal. We are currently on track to reach current measure 4.1. data. Again, we continue to monitor our students and subgroups across all schools. So, a couple of notes about the analysis because we're really digging into a data set that we haven't used as often. So, as reminders and Dr. Pombo, Miss George, please feel free to jump in here. These are important data and I don't want to misspeak on any of them. um only one full year of data is available because this is a new assessment.
It's one thing that give Jordan, you she'll score six, seven, eight goals in a game and I don't think any of the goals are ever the same type of shot selection. She reaches deep into her bag and that one for I reverse Twizzler sounds good. Marino on her draw. Arms got to get be getting tired today as she takes her 17th draw, winning 15 of them. gets the ball up to Luke Kesich and Lucas to Jordan and Jordan scores another goal. Nice passing by the Spartans. Nice finish by Jordan. Spart number seven, Addie Jordan. [Applause] Marino back on the draw. Spartans up 13 to four with 230 left in the third quarter. Is Grace Howard looks to get there? Grace Howard picks it up. Grace Howard [Applause] skirts one right by the goalie. Goes five on the goalie and Grace Howard is now up on the board.
Why? because on July um we want to focus on providing orientations for families. we want to be able to provide in July um any trainings for any new teachers that we had to hire um not only because of our current vacancies or based on any additional vacancies um as a result of new enrollment and by July 24th if you look at right now it is April 15 July 24th it is when our students are going to come It's a matter of weeks. Um it on July 24th, our students are going to be back and by then our Abuba Community Fire School District it needs to have everything they have said earlier um set up and good to go. We also have on July 28th um which is um Thursday and Friday is going to be the first day of school, but on the 24th and on the 25th, we're not going to be enrolling students because those parents who were able to enroll students on time and the the B were on the buses.
So it's we can't go uh distant into the past. Um the discrepancy between the 8% reference in goal in the goal and 13% shown on the graph is due to a correction in the data previously entered. So we're always going back to look at our data sets to make sure that we have it right. Sometimes we notice things and we correct them along the way. So the winter 2425 rate of third grade students at or above benchmark is 1% higher than it was in 2324. The percent of third graders at or above benchmark did decrease from fall to winter this year. So from the 22 to the 19 there we did see that that slight decrease. The number needed for a passing score, and this is important on these screeners, the number needed for a passing score increases each screening window. So the the mark for for proficiency goes up because the assumption is more teaching and learning is happening.
Goal number 22, Grace Howard. Grace Howard getting her first goal on the season with that shot. Now with that gold, Spartans are up 10. So, we'll have running clock unless Chaw can get one up on the board. Ch wins the draw. Okconor has it. Kicks the ball outside. Min can do a one-on-one. Nothing is there. They kick it back out to Lucy. M Whitler kicks knocks the ball around. Mcknney ends up picking it up. Keney gets the ball off to Howard. Howard's got a couple of defenders. Oh no, that's not Howard. Is it Howard? Is that Caroline? Caroline. Caroline over to Mack. Mack over to Howard. Howard over to Mckne. Mcknney feeds it in to Jordan. And Jordan scores a goal. So J Addie Jordan gets a hattick on this half. That's Add's sixth goal of the game. 33rd goal of the season. And Spartans going into the fourth quarter with a 15 to four.
Um we need to make sure that we set it up um and we provide better um service once the students they are in the classrooms and they're sitting they they have the the the the classrooms going. We're going to reopen registration on July 28th. Um we will reopen it up only for a week. Um and and that any other parents that um didn't miss the two and a half months of hold on April, May, June, we started in March registration, Mr. Bates. So registration will be officially open for a total of four months. So we are encouraging all of our parents any continuing parents of prospective parents to ensure that they uh enroll the students by June 13th. Another uh key date it is August. Traditionally speaking and this is information again based on on previous information. Traditionally BIE schools they start in August. So, this is going to create a challenge um in a couple of ways.
Therefore, the target gets higher. So it's so it gets harder too, harder as the year goes on, more reflective of ideally the teaching and learning that's supposed to happen over the course of the year. So a decrease in students passing does not necessarily equal failing student scores, but it does mean that our students are not increasing their scores at the rate necessary for end of grade level proficiency. If you see that happen. So to reach interim measure 4.2 by May of 2025, we need to increase the passing rate by 1%. So our May measure is 20%, we got to 18 in the winter. We are currently on track to reach current measure 4.2 and then I'll speak briefly about 4.3 which is our K our FastBridge winter screening results for our kindergarten students. Again only one full year of data is available because this is a new assessment for us.
And we're back with fourth quarter action. The Spartan taking a commanding lead 15-4 against Menchog Falcons. And we will have continuous running clock as Addie Jordan is now on a draw. Giving Kenna Marino a break and we'll have a restart. Jordan with nice self draw. Quickly gets the ball over to Mckne. Keney gets it up to M. Whitwer. Whitwer over to Lucas. Gets the ball behind the net to Illingsworth. Illingsworth over to Mckne. Over to Mack over to Lucas. Kasich with the ball. Plays behind to Mac. Mac will get shooting space. [Music] M Whitler gets stuffed by the goalie. Nice save by Johnson as Mack knocks the ball out, but it's no call. Burner has the ball. Kicks it up to Kosib. That's their go-to girl. It gets the ball through the ride. Lee with the ball. She's met by Grace Howard. Now she's got K.
If parents hold on and do not enroll in a in an alternative school and there's no BIE school and they don't know until August and then we have a challenge, um the challenge is going to be that if all of a sudden we become the school that is going to be absorbing any other students, um the approximate number that we're looking at, give or take, we're looking at about 4 50 students. Uh Babok Unifi School District, it's about a thousand students strong. So if we are going to be uh the alternative um option, we're looking at a total number of 150 students, which means we need um x amount of buses. We're going to need x amount of new teachers, x amount of new resources. Um those calculations we've been working on based on that approximate number. Um but the more information that we collaborate and share we will then help us um to collaborately uh prepare bearer for for a a stronger contingency plan.
The 2425 fall and winter rates of kindergarteners at benchmark are higher than they were in 2324. This school year, the percentage of kindergarteners at benchmark increased 6% from fall to winter. To reach interim measure 4.3 by May, we need to increase the percentage of kindergarteners at benchmark by at least 1%. The scores needed to reach the benchmark continue to increase as I mentioned before. So student growth needs to match or exceed norm referenced growth rates to continue reaching our goals and we are reporting that we are currently on track to reach interim measure 4.3. So the work that's being done focused on inputs. I'm going to let the team jump in and take it from here. So I'm giving update on our inputs. So we have the same inputs as our previous reports just where we are with each one. So, under professional learning, um, our input was 80% of K8 English language arts teachers will have engaged in training for the new intervention materials by September 30th, 2024.
