BURTON SCHOOL BOARD TO CONSIDER CAMPUS, DISTRICT IMPROVEMENT PLANS

  

The Burton School Board will meet Monday to discuss planning efforts across the district.

The board will consider the 2019-20 district improvement plan, and the elementary and secondary campus improvement plans.

Superintendent Dr. Edna Kennedy said the annual updates involve a needs assessment to include instructional programs that address classroom rigor and intervention.  She said the updates will go over the district’s ability to meet accountability standards for topics including core subject areas, additional electives, student growth, safety and security, budget and general operations, and parent and community involvement.

Also in session Monday, the board will go through 2018-19 ESL program evaluation, certifying that the district met all system safeguards for Language English Proficiency.  Dr. Kennedy said the report integrates strengths, needs, professional staff development, improvements to the ESL/Bilingual Program, and parent involvement.

Trustees will also hear reports from the superintendent, elementary and high school principals, and athletic director.

The board is also planning to hold a training session at the meeting, for a legislative update.

The board will meet Monday evening at 5:30 p.m. in the Burton ISD Administration Office.
