This Local Literacy Plan for Edgerton Public School District outlines its strategy to advance literacy in alignment with the Minnesota READ Act. The plan focuses on building upon best practices from OL&LA CORE training, implementing enhanced instructional strategies, and continuously analyzing data, including Capti Read Basix data for the 2026-27 school year, to identify and address learning gaps. Key areas include comprehensive screening tools, data-based decision making, parent notification and involvement, and the use of evidence-based curricular resources and interventions. The district also details its professional development plan for educators and the utilization of literacy aid funds, all aimed at strengthening foundational literacy skills and fostering a culture of academic excellence to ensure all students achieve grade-level reading proficiency.

The meeting commenced with the approval of the agenda. A public forum was offered, though no one spoke. A representative from the Southwest Initiative Foundation presented information regarding current endowment funds for the Edgerton Public School Foundation. Key actions taken included the approval of the cash flow report and the authorization of monthly district bills totaling $123,861.00. Administrator's reports covered the approval of the FY 2026 Budget and the approval of FY 2025 Audit Services for $14,400. Further updates were provided on the status of the building project, summer projects, and legislative changes. High school and elementary/superintendent reports were also delivered.

The strategic plan for Edgerton Public School is structured around six core goals. These include ensuring student learning and achievement, creating a positive learning environment, providing ongoing curriculum development, offering continuous staff development, managing resources effectively, and providing opportunities for extracurricular activities. The plan aims to achieve these through initiatives such as data-driven instruction, academic recovery, safety protocols, stakeholder communication, technology integration, and alignment with state standards.

This Comprehensive Achievement and Civic Readiness (CACR) plan outlines a strategic framework for district initiatives, emphasizing dual roles of supporting students' academic achievement from pre-K through 12th grade and preparing them for active community participation post-graduation. Key goals include ensuring all children are ready for school, closing racial and economic achievement gaps, preparing all students for career and college, achieving high school graduation for all students, and fostering lifelong learning.

This document is a progress report for the Edgerton Public School District's 2022-2025 Achievement and Integration plan, covering the 2024-25 school year. It outlines the district's performance against three strategic goals: increasing the percentage of Free and Reduced-Price (FRP) students achieving proficiency in math, enhancing student comfort with diverse social relationships, and ensuring K-5 teachers collaborate with a Math Specialist to implement data-driven strategies. The report indicates that the achievement goal was not met, while the integration and teacher equity goals were successfully achieved.
