This document outlines the academic expectations for students from Kindergarten through Fifth Grade. It details specific learning objectives across key mathematical domains including Number Sense and Operations, Algebraic Reasoning, Measurement, Geometric Reasoning, Data Analysis and Probability, Fluency and Automaticity, and Fractions, aiming to guide student mastery by the end of each grade level.

This document outlines significant enhancements and updates to the Osceola School District's ESE program, aiming to increase inclusion opportunities for students with disabilities by expanding access to general education classrooms and reducing the percentage of students in separate class settings to meet state targets. Key strategies include expanding inclusive learning environments and establishing 'hub schools' to provide specialized services for students requiring more restrictive settings. The ultimate goal is to ensure all students receive a free and appropriate public education in the least restrictive environment, preparing them for future education, careers, and independent living.

The meeting addressed the approval of the Bid Award #SDOC-23-B-105-LV for Transportation Services for Special Needs Students. The bid establishes fixed prices for transportation services to Osceola County School Districts' students with disabilities and/or special needs, utilizing multipurpose passenger vehicles designed for fewer than 10 students. The approval was granted to Collaborative Student Transportation of Florida, based in Minneapolis, MN, for a three-year term with an optional two-year renewal period.

The 2024-2027 Strategic Plan for the School District of Osceola County centers around three main areas of focus: cultivating an innovative spirit, providing a safe and respectful environment, and facilitating transformational learning experiences. The plan emphasizes stakeholder engagement, operational efficiency, community collaboration, and achievement. Specific initiatives include improving communication responsiveness, increasing student and staff attendance, enhancing safety protocols, developing standard-aligned curriculum, optimizing business processes, building community partnerships, increasing parent engagement, expanding literacy and math fluency, building workforce capacity, and expanding college and career pathways. Key performance indicators (KPIs) track progress across these areas, focusing on metrics such as customer service response times, absenteeism rates, professional learning participation, contract performance, resource allocation efficiency, community feedback, student enrollment, parent academy participation, social media engagement, school grading outcomes, graduation rates, teacher vacancy rates, college and career readiness, and student and staff satisfaction.
