Marshalltown Community School District Regular Board Meeting
The meeting commenced with calls to order and the reading of the district's mission statement and pledge of allegiance. The agenda was approved. A public hearing was held regarding the plans, specifications, form of contract, and estimated costs for the remaining bid packages for the Miller Middle School project, with no public comments received. Personnel recognition was given to a retiring school librarian with 19 years of service. Discussions covered interagency agreements and contracts, including one with Northwestern College for educator candidates, a research agreement with McGraw Hill, an institute site agreement with Center for Responsive Schools, a commercial service agreement for lawn care with True Green, and special education agreements with Gilbert and Johnston Community School Districts. Open enrollment figures for the current and next school years were reviewed. Significant time was dedicated to presenting updates on the Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) framework at Miller, including goals related to student and staff attendance (90% and 95% targets, respectively), reducing major disciplinary referrals, achieving ELPA proficiency benchmarks, incorporating project-based learning (PBL), and ensuring students can identify a trusted adult. Action steps included improving attendance through student involvement, relationship building via positive contacts home, and addressing student behavior referrals with layered supports through a new behavior team. Efforts to support English Learner (EL) students, including small group language instruction and targeted pullout intervention, were also detailed. Finally, the structure and purpose of the WIN (What I Need) time, which focuses on literacy support via Lexia, math support via Alex, SEAL work, and teacher-requested individual/small group intervention, were explained, along with the establishment of a testing center to alleviate teacher burden during this intervention period.
