The administration pulled the Math Monitoring Report from the agenda prior to the Board of Education meeting last Thursday evening. Applause to Dr. Lulow and his folks for taking the time to get the facts and conclusions correct. I am hoping that once the data issues are cleared up, the conclusions will become evident.
The inconsistencies seen in the tables showing elementary school results were the result of two different sets of data being used. One included English Language Learners; the other excluded them. The problem was there were no explanatory footnotes. There were also several mistakes in presenting the numbers. Very confusing to anyone trying to use the report as a tool to determine what needs to be corrected to achieve the best result.
Expect a revised version for the next BoE meeting.
