009been with our employees in mind any other questions or comments thank you madam vice president thank you mr smith thank you rjb for being here with us tonight war goal updates student achievement part 6. thank you mr president members of the board and dr smith we are on part six of student achievement this will close out our 21-22 school year in terms of data related to board goals um this uh first report is around ilearn so last week the ilearn scores were unembargoed so we now are able to talk about specific numbers so just to review from our last meeting our island is reported in four different categories above above proficiency at approaching and below and so we'll talk about it in that context this evening your board goal is about increasing uh by 10
010percent the number of students designated at the top three categories so really that means decreasing below proficiency by ten percent so this is the data that i shared with you last time that was just um general data about the subgroups and grade levels that met the board goal 12 of 13 schools had individual subgroups that met the 10 percent growth in ela for grade levels we had five of six grade levels that improved proficiency rates we had five of six cohorts that also improved proficiency rates so now here's the specific numbers that now we're able to to share so the way that this chart is laid out you can see by grade level the number of testers the total percent passing and that includes the above category as well as the at category and the
011percentage of students in the approaching category as well as below and so if the box is coded as green that means that we showed improvement either in the grade level or in the cohort from 2021. if the box is labeled red then we did not show growth or improvement and so you can see for these subgroups overall black hispanic and white particularly in grades three through six all green cells so tremendous growth in our elementary schools in ela the most growth coming at third grade um start really surpassing uh significantly surpassing the growth of the state of indiana in third grade in every subgroup and so we're pleased with our youngest learners for sure um you can tell in seventh grade we have some some transition issues that we need to continue to work with
012our middle school middle schools on they did show an overall increase in both grade levels but we've got some red cells in that seventh grade that will be an area of focus for us and for our middle schools this slide is the the remaining subgroups multi-racial sped el and free and reduced launch and as i've shared with you before our el subgroup is our fastest growing subgroup i'm 312 more test takers in 2022 than in 2021 so with that significant of an increase in that subgroup we're pleased to see the amount of green that we have there math laid out similarly but we did see more significant growth in math in um more subgroups and you know in our district in order to really really move the needle significantly we've got to have our black
013subgroup growing and we've got to have our hispanic subgroup growing and we do see some of that in mathematics all schools had individual subgroups that met the 10 growth goals so across the district every single school and the number beside each subgroup is the number of subgroups that grew by the 10 percent growth goal and that that 10 percent growth goal is significant um highly significant and highly accelerated that is well beyond what typical expectation would be um and we do have a significant number of subgroups that met that goal six of six grade levels improved proficiency in mathematics all of our cohorts showed improvement in the elementary school middle school again is where our issue is for mathematics with a decrease in both cohorts even though they improved at the grade level the cohort
014did not improve so as we look at our specific numbers very similar to ela in terms of our trend where we've got significant growth in our elementary schools again third grade far surpassing the state of indiana for surpassing indiana or at marion county in terms of growth we've got one cell in sixth grade that we do need to to pay attention to with our black subgroup and then again seventh and eighth grade is where our focus needs to be and these are the remaining subgroups for mathematics again el um pleased to see the green that we have there given the considerable number of increased test takers that we have so in terms of our next step i've given you a big picture district overview the story really is told at each school and working with
015each school leadership team to analyze their data to develop their very specific action plan and it's different school by school because the results are different school by school i mean and it's important as we begin that analysis with our building level teams that we celebrate the 2022 wins our buildings have been working hard our principals and our teachers have been working hard and every school has something to celebrate and so beginning with that celebration beginning with what is working in buildings then helps us focus on those areas that that need particular attention culturally responsive instruction to move the needle in our district we must have our black and hispanic subgroups growing at the highest levels they grew this year but we want to see more and so we kicked off our lawrence learning summit this
016morning we're pleased with the attendance that we have and the entire four days of professional development is geared around every session that we have around equitable student outcomes and having that be the focus of learning for the entire district this week um we continue to see in bullet point four we continue to see the correlation between our rigor diagnostic scores when those grow test scores grow and that's been true with every single test that we've had in the state of indiana over the last several years so as our instructional framework gets stronger and we see growth in that leading indicator that translates to higher proficiency and higher growth on our state testing we also have some curricular updates that we're doing that you've already approved for next school year 22-23 and we're doing that training
017this week and then we're continuing our math program review for next school year the next one's really important this is our research-based interventions and supports and much of the growth that we're seeing in our sped subgroups we did outpace the state in sped as well and the el subgroups is because of the research-based programmatic focused interventions and supports and you've heard me talk about them before we've got many going on during the school day we also have our cadre of retired teachers who are coming in and serving many of these students as well as jumpstart and so that's all wrapped up into to that bullet point and then we've got to continue to work with our middle schools around that transition from sixth grade to seventh grade and mr harsher was leading a professional development
018this afternoon for our team leaders at the middle school of really creating that small environment for our students as they're transitioning from their elementary school into the their middle school and being focused on that that support and that's a reset that we've had to do from pre pandemic to now moving out of the pandemic so would be happy to entertain any questions or discussion questions comments for mr notre on our student achievement you very much for the hard work that you and your team have done and all of our teaching staff and our building leaders to make this possible can i have a couple of um questions one how does lawrence township look versus the statewide growth rate i know that a lot of times what's reported in the paper is the achievement rate and
019i would like to know how we are doing with our growth rate first of all so the the state hasn't reported growth rate yet um but i can tell in the proficiency rates that in some grade levels we in in subgroups were outperforming the state third grade is one that i can tell right off the top even though we don't have growth data from the state yet i can just tell from the proficiency rates were so much higher our growth was so much higher than the state average that were well above the average the other place surprisingly was eighth grade um we we even though we're struggling a little bit with our eighth grade and in terms of our own internal data so is the rest of the state and and i guess our students
020particularly in ela had higher proficiency rates than the rest of the state the other place that we're seeing it is in sixth grade so sixth grade at the state level actually had a decline in ela so lost ground across the state where we showed an increase and so um you know the rest of our subgroups are pretty much in line with the the rest of the the state of indiana but um third grade far surpasses the the growth at the state level that is fabulous and um and you touched on this in the notes but it seems to me that you know we have been doing rigor now for several years in our at our elementary level and we see this continued growth um we've not been doing the rigor as long as at our
021middle schools so we we have a lot of room to improve that rigor piece at our middle schools correct absolutely in our secondary schools were most impacted by the pandemic in terms of the the momentum of our instructional framework you're right they started two years later in the elementary we're just getting going and then the pandemic hit so we have lots of resetting to do and not in our second year those that attended our middle school this year they were all new students they didn't have any any models absolutely ahead of them so you know kudos to the staff thank you very much any other questions or comments mine was just going to be a comment but you you guys have touched on it that's what i was reading over my multiple cups of joe
022today was uh statewide that six and eighth had a decrease and so it was awesome to see just where we have excelled in other areas so that was encouraging as well as having the layout as to what our next steps are so again thank you second any other questions or comments thank you mr noah so mr president we do have a second uh report for you on student achievement if you want to entertain that so this is our internal assessment so we've talked about ilearn which is the statewide test our internal assessment is fast bridge reading and math and you also have a board goal around that a growth of 10 percent in the number of students meeting grade level proficiency and in some ways this data point is even more important than the state
023data point states once a year um we administer fast bridge up to five times a year and so this really allows us to to know where our kids are and so for your uh review we administer in may at the end of the year so this is after i learn this is nationally normed so this is a nationwide assessment that and the cut scores change throughout the year as students get older the cut score goes up and this year-to-year comparison is really important in the analysis of are we accelerating our unfinished learning um are do we have more proficiency in 2022 than we had in 2021 and so we'll quickly just take a look at each grade level this is reading for kindergarten you can see in that last column the percentage of growth of
024students at proficiency in kindergarten and we know this is where it begins so this foundation is important first grade you can see grade level growth which is the the growth in grade level from year to year and then the cohort growth the growth that they showed from kindergarten second grade very similar third grade again as i've said third grade has been a strong point for us because of all of the early literacy work that we've done over the last several years fourth grade this matches some of the ilearn data that we saw there's a little bit of a concern in fourth grade that we're digging into school by school double-digit growth in fifth grade sixth grade this seventh grade data is different than the ilearn data and in some ways um really speaks to the
025instructional framework change that we've made at the middle schools and that we are seeing that growth from 2021 to 2022 even within the cohort so the the cohort means that they grew from when they were in sixth grade to now where they are in seventh grade so this is encouraging data for us that is a little bit more at a micro level compared to ilearn and then very very strong growth in eighth grade which matches our ilearn growth as well switch over to math double digit growth in kindergarten as well as in first grade a little bit of a cohort issue in second grade and this is a great level we've been paying close attention to because all three years of their education have been impacted by the pandemic kindergarten first grade and second grade
026nice growth in third grade fourth this should say math data i didn't change the title on this but it's math data for fifth grade sixth grade again seeing that growth in seventh grade as well as eighth grade so our analysis points here are very similar to what i've already shared with you for i ilearn the higher the rigor diagnostic data the higher the the school growth data is and this really does indicate that our students are growing at accelerated rates and that we are recovering unfinished learning from the the pandemic and we are beginning to see that transfer over into our i learn scores we still have a significant racial disparity in this data and so that matches i learn and that really is our focus as i said this week for our equitable student
027outcomes professional development so the next steps are very similar to what i just shared with ilearn questions comments fast bridge david when it's good reports troy we are quiet i'm glad to be able to bring you good reports thank you for all the hard work absolutely for the focus on the errors that we need to focus on continue to highlight celebrate our achievements but we still know there's a lot of work to be done absolutely thank you so much i've been on this board for 10 years and along with carol i think every year but we don't see the achievement improving we don't see improvement we don't see improvement and this this is a great deal of improvement and a very difficult time and it's very nice to see this thank you thank you viola

037bit early here [Laughter] i as some of you know from uh last year we were the first time gardeners with a large garden in our yard and this is connected to the school because we provide our kids hopefully with fresh food and many of our families have gardens and the city of lawrence has a farmer's market every thursday from four to seven check it out if you haven't already however this is like a safety tip that i'm bringing to you all tonight we do have abundant peppers we have abundant radishes we thought our squash was behind and so we saw these green sort of things coming out and then we let them get yellow and they were starting up and we thought oh good well unfortunately some of our more expert gardeners were out of
038town for a couple weeks namely our kids who follow this more closely sometimes than brenda and i but brenda and i had mistaken what we thought were squash plants they were really cucumber plants and we took those nice yellow orange things they were overrun however however we have a directed course now and now we have abundant green cucumbers oh i just want to report the state thank you for those uh wonderful tips mr freezey no problem did someone have a question pertaining to the tip to them y'all will miss me in another session ms mustard well and yes good good luck our best wishes are with everyone as the years begins um thank you mr president for beginning our meeting with happy new year it is a happy new year it's a fresh start and
039fresh starts are pretty wonderful and as for the parks department um i i will report that the lawrence bark park at lee road park is doing splendidly we enjoy that almost every day that's it thank you miss mustard yes miss crystal three quick bulleted points first one being mr friji i'm a novice gardener myself and realized yesterday that i thought i was growing snap peas and they were tomatoes i feel that one second point that's the whole experience that was a whole journal journal entry there um summer servings oh my gosh thank you so much for our food service summer servings was awesome and i also went to different sites just to get the experience they always had a smile and they were always kind and that means a lot and so just seeing even
040the the kids react so that's why i had to ask about my summer servings so they are much um appreciated and thank you for serving our kiddos and lastly you know i got to add this for one of my favorites brene brown says that the wholehearted rest in play i know they were gearing up in high gear but i'm hopeful that in these nuggets of time that you're able to find some rest find some play time to kind of woosah before the school year really takes off so i sincerely mean that prayers that you all have that time to rest and play somewhere in there and thank you i thank you so much for all that you do that's it for me your vocabulary is uh wusa yes that keeps it real yeah [Laughter] expressing
041how i felt i'm very expressive yeah thank you for expressing yourself in an enduring way miss crystal well thank you sir let me talk a little bit about the new year for us as a board education as a district as we are going into our election season for the public there will be two seats on the ballot for our school board and we encourage all those who are eligible to look into if you're eligible to look into becoming members of the school board i said that person's like why would you say that register if you might run again because this is a duty an honor and it's rewarding and we're not here forever and it makes sense for us as citizens to become more involved in our communities than ever before we've learned some things
042in terms of how we are not as effective when we are divisive now is the time for us to come together be together show strength and continue to get the numbers we see based on the leadership from this school board so encourage those two who are eligible to look into that also on the minds of our community as sad as it may sound for some of us and for others there's a concern around the safety of our schools i want the community to know as a school board the leadership administration that we have a strategy in place to keep our students safe not just our students and faculty but at all our events as well so my ask dr smith and i was august the september meeting just to give us a highlight of what
043we're doing to make sure that our families know that the safety of our students and our faculty and all those who come to our schools that is a priority for us so it's a high level where we are in terms of keeping people and our students our precious students safe also as a school board going into this year we know there are some external factors affecting our families inflation is real for our families the cost of fuel is real for our families the cost of you for our district is real for our families these even the war not knowing what's going to happen with the war how it uh affect our supply chain trickles down to lawrence township i want the community to know that as a board we are looking at everything we can
044to ensure that we continue to operate efficiently in the school district even the decision that was made tonight for our employees the beta offered in better services than what we can offer and to also make sure that we have a better quality of doing the things that we are not the best at doing most of us in this room your job is to make sure we can educate our kids now everybody that's employee that works in this district is part of our family it doesn't matter what uniform you wear you're part of lawrence township and you're part of our family i want our community to know that we don't make decisions and silo and i'll be the first to admit yes i had a lot of questions about the decisions being made and yes i
045was on the bubble but i am convinced and proud to say as a board and as administration that we're making the right decisions for our employees in addition to that we know the pandemic is not over we know that and there's talk conversation that this fall we might go back to them as there might be some mandates we have learned as a board making decisions with our families and students in at the forefront of what we do that's not going to change the mask is a choice that we embrace whatever the case may be we will continue to focus on the safety from the health side of our employees and students and last but not least let's go on to when said we know that the mental illness in this country is real social emotional
046learning crises are real in all demographics all zip codes all ages and i'm glad to say that we have some things in place to address those one thing we always say at our company while work if there's something you see that need to be addressed bring it up to somebody so we can address it do not make the assumption that somebody got that if you see something that needs to be changed and you can change it please change it if you have questions maintaining to the safety of a child please do something about that it starts with all of us in this school district i'm proud to serve in lawrence township i'm proud of this brand new year that we're going to start off from a financial standpoint we're in good shape mr street and
047then most that we can do the things we're doing as people look at the buildings that's going up keep in mind the building's just one piece of it but it's the people inside those buildings that make us the city make us the district of destination so we salute all our teachers principals custodial workers our maintenance staff our bus drivers our cafeteria workers everybody that touched a family in this school district and now rjb that includes you we want you to know that they are family first for us so board let's get ready for a happy new year important new year and one that is going to record us to take care of some business so we look forward to serving thank you dr smith greg you got the team ready to run out of the
048tunnel we're ready to get on you sound like coach lombardi here didn't it all right thank you mr president well and to build on that we need to give thank you because this past weekend was a week was a week of celebrations and so dana i want to thank you and sean bush for your efforts with indiana black expo as we pushed out into the community both being very important events dana was in charge of our expo and exhibits and then sean and troy and troy kudos also we participated in the black expo education conference and so it was a privilege for our people to be there and be well represented and supporting a major part of our community as we do in lawrence township mr president i heard you loud and clear mr smith
049myself along with jim paris we will be addressing safety and security in an upcoming newsletter that we'll send out to families and remind them of the commitment that we make to safety and security in this community we do some things in this district that other districts don't we have some very heartened things that we do when we require people to enter our buildings and attend our major events but in light of what's going on around the country and in particular yesterday in the city of indianapolis greenwood next indianapolis we are definitely concerned and so with us having 16 000 students and thousands of people entering our buildings and around we just send a message to them that we need your help as a community to assure that these young people have a bright future and
050our staff is well taken care of so we need the entire community to join us we'll remind the community some of the things we do are very confidential and private but on the other side of it we want our community to know that we do have armed officers that we have safety and security around us during the day and the evening at our events and we're certainly going to review our practices work closely with our partners in the city of lawrence and city of indianapolis to get even better roger and jim so we thank you and that's all i have mr president thank you dr smith board i will next weekend we'll have a meeting a joint meeting uh august 15th it will begin at 5 30. again that'll be a combined work session and
