8. Present & Approve - Middle School Redesign Update
The purpose of this presentation was to provide an update on Rio Tierra's Middle School Redesign project. As a reminder, Rio Tierra Jr. High School's staff piloted the Middle School Redesign model starting during the 2016-17 school year. The key goals were to build professional capacity, provide adults the opportunity to build relationships with students, provide students with a sense of belonging through universities, and provide a 7 period day where students are offered additional support or an additional elective course option. Through the Cycle of Continuous Improvement, we have examined key indicators aligned with outcomes and will be making a recommendation to discontinue this initiative. The Superintendent recommends Board action as requested.
