Oregon-Davis School Board Gets Update on School Improvement Plans, Quarterly Assessments

The Oregon-Davis School Corporation is taking steps to better track students’ progress. Superintendent Dr. Don Harman says it’s part of the latest round of school improvement plans. “We’re using quarterly assessments to measure our students,” he says, “instead of just a one-year assessment, for example, with ISTEP.”

He says a big focus is on helping high school sophomores boost their Math and English scores. “We just finished up a quarterly assessment, and now we are evaluating those students who did not meet the satisfactory level, so that we can help those students be more successful and improve their achievement.”

Harman and High School Principal Tim Pletcher gave an update on the school improvement plans to the Oregon-Davis School Board Monday.
