DISTRICT SPOTLIGHT
Upper Scioto Valley scores are moving in the right direction!
Upper Scioto Valley (USV) has experienced positive trends in its Kindergarten Readiness Assessment (KRA) scores. The introduction of additional preschool units is a contributing factor. In the 21-22 school year, the district had two half-day units; subsequently, a full-day unit with bus transportation for students was introduced in 22-23, followed by an additional full-day unit in 23-24. Notably, KRA scores for the 22-23 academic year revealed that a majority of kindergartners started the year "Not on Track". By the fall of 23-24, the percentage of kindergarten students "On Track" rose an additional 19%, with another 14% of students being one point of away from being "On Track". The increased preschool opportunities are also linked to improved attendance and reduced behavior issues, showcasing the impact of the expanded preschool opportunities in the district.
REGION SPOTLIGHT
Thank you to all who have attended the first two sessions of the Special Education Academy. The Academy has thoroughly discussed requirements for the ETR and IEP so far. Resources were shared during both training sessions Over 100 people attended the Academy and great feedback was given:
"Thank you for providing all of the resources, including the slides, on your website AND providing the links via chat throughout the session as we discussed each".
"This was the most informative presentation covering the ETR I have attended. Thank you".
"I thought the presentation was easy to understand and very helpful".
"Great, detailed training"!
"This was absolutely amazing. I wish this was recorded so that way we could go back and review what was talked about".
Sorry, we couldn’t record the training but we appreciate all the feedback! Remember you can still sign up for the third and final session which will focus on the Transition portion of the IEP will be on January 17th.
Tips & Updates
ON YOUR RADAR
🏫Special Education Profile (SPP)🏫
This year the SPP compliance data will be released in two phases. The compliance data has required actions if a district did not meet state targets. The first release was in December, however the next release should be this month (January)! Please keep a look out for the second phase data release and to make sure you understand if any of your district's data has a required action. SST6 would be glad to answer any questions you may have.
