Bottom line

The board will hear a report on new elementary report cards and on trimesters.

Background

Adela Solis, president of the Lawrence Education Assn., and Tom Christie, executive director of educational programming and curriculum, will report on the elementary trimester schedule that was implemented this school year.

Christie and Terri Durgan, Quail Run School, will give a presentation on changes to the elementary standards-based report card and discuss actions that are being taken to provide professional development to interested teachers using an online book study on Ken Conner’s book, “How To Grade For Learning.”

“We moved to trimesters last year in elementary schools instead of quarters,” said Supt. Randy Weseman. “And we’ve been working on report cards for several years.”
