Academic Work Session
- Dr. Nichols shared information about the diagnostic 1 baseline for iReady. The data spreadsheet shows information for where the school would be if a score was shown for Content Mastery for the CCRPI at 30%. The committee reviewed the data from Upper, Lower and Scholar Services as well as subgroups of Economically Disadvantaged, African-American, White, Multi, ESOL, Students with Disabilities and gifted scholars
- Scholar attendance for Lower Academy is not accurate. The Student Information System has a glitch in the system and is not calculating the attendance correctly. However Upper Academy is correct
- FTE Cycle 1 was reviewed. A question was raised about the underage scholar in the school. Dr. Nichols will discuss further after more research with Admissions at the November Academic Committee meeting
- School Improvement Checkpoint 1 was conducted with Federal Programs. Discussion of services provided by Federal Programs' employees, and benchmark data from iReady diagnostic 1.
- Articles were reviewed around the No Zero policy. According to GaDoe there is no policy for No Zeroes and the committee discussed possibly having more detailed procedures around grading which could incorporate procedures around No Zeroes.
