Above is at least part of the information to be presented to the board regarding Learning Loss plans and implementation.  Anyone wanting more details, I suggest you send your questions to the board and/ or Office of Curriculum And Instruction PRIOR to the new board meeting.

I for one would want to know the following:
- What external vendors/ resources have been hired and what was the contracted amount?

- When are the external vendors anticipated to be in place?

- Why can’t extended day interventions/tutoring be offered both in person and virtual (since schools are open)?

- How many schools faced inability to hire staff to support tutoring/intervention and how many students are still waiting to be aligned with the appropriate tutor/intervention?

- Maybe shared previously but what do fall MAP and other assessments indicate at a district level?  Since we are conducting Winter testing when will district data be available to help forecast if we are on track for 15% improvement?  Are these assessments or other work that can be eliminated to allow for more time and focus on actual learning and skill development?

- What plans are being put in place now to continue this work over summer for students?[/quote]

So far, they haven't done sh$t for High School.  The curriculum is moving on as if all the prior material was covered and there is no cohesive plan to fill in gaps or adjust course pacing.  This is especially impactful in higher level language and math.[/quote]

This. I have sympathy for the sick teachers, but many high level classes are without teachers are basically like “teach yourself, we have to stay on schedule the test is still on Tues.”. Our family is lucky to be able to pay for tutors. [/quote]

If they don't have qualified teachers, what exactly can be done but say teach yourself.  [/quote]
