Defined Success by 2029 ● Increase achievement and growth scores overall, and for historically marginalized groups ● Appropriate growth of students receiving academic interventions ● Proportional rate of students identified for Special Education & Gifted and Talented ● Increase % of students who graduate and obtain at least one GRAD+ recognition ● Increase fidelity to the BVSD Discipline framework ● Decrease Out of School Suspensions while reducing disproportionality 6

District UIP “Student Performance Priorities” & “Major Improvement Strategies” aligned to the four Strategic Plan Objectives Action plans are created using a two year improvement cycle Fall 2024 - Spring 2026 & Fall 2026- Spring 2028

School UIP Schools engage in short cycle improvement planning by identifying major areas of improvement aligned to the Strategic Plan/District UIP, and create school-specific actions to support those goals.

Professional Learning & Grade Level Standards

In PD on cognitive lift & Webb’s DOK, grounded in standards and the inquiry: “What does mastery of each standard look like, what do students need to know and be able to do, what is rigor required?” 9

Curricular Resource Adoption & Implementation

Improved curricular resources grounded in and aligned with standards ● Math, Literacy/ELA, Social Studies, Science, Health, World Language

10

Grade Level Standards Through DDI & Assessment

● DDI Coaches & Strategic Plan Support Teams ● Refining assessment calendar for greater standards alignment 11

2026-2028 UIP Considerations Opportunity: Address inconsistent growth in Math: ● Districtwide Math Curricular Materials ■ Elementary- Illustrative Math (All schools) ■ Middle School- Into Math (All Schools) ■ Algebra, Algebra 2, & Geometry- Reveal (All Schools) ● DDI Implementation ■ Expand focus to math at elementary ■ Ongoing focus for MS & HS Math teams

● 90-day plan progress indicators at the school level Potential UIP Indicators: Administrator Learning Walks, Observation of Math Reteaches (DDI), Continue PD on Depth of Knowledge 13

Next Best Step

Educators and administrators implement & track tiered supports and instructional strategies to engage and grow ALL students, and monitor success in doing so.

Implementation: ● Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS) applied to academics ● Data-Driven Instruction

15

Identification of Students with Disabilities Areas of concern in 2024: Significant Disproportionality in identification of Black or African American students. Current: BVSD has no areas of significant disproportionality on the December 1, 2025 count. Category: For Any Disability CDE Risk Ratio: 2.08; BVSD: 1.95

16

2026-2028 UIP Considerations Opportunity: Consistent growth across all student groups, including those receiving intervention ● Continuous Improvement of MTSS ■ School-specific growth areas identified in MTSS review ■ Districtwide growth areas identified in MTSS review: ● District focus on intervention implementation and data tracking ● DDI Implementation ■ All schools engaging in core DDI practices ● 90-day plan progress indicators at the school level Potential UIP Indicators: MTSS Progress Updates- Using MTSS Rubric (2025). Intervention Implementation data.

Valued & Included ALL students feel valued & included in their learning environments,

schools engage in restorative practices with students when appropriate, and schools consistently apply recommended resolutions for specific disciplinary events (i.e., discipline framework).

Implementation: ● Cultural competency focus ● Implementation of the Discipline Framework ● Restorative Practices ● MTSS applied to behavior 19

Three major components of our Valued & Included Initiative

What is the current status of each component?

2026-2028 UIP Considerations Opportunity: Students feel valued and Included In their learning environments ● MTSS-B ■ Professional Learning for all on De-Escalation techniques ■ Professional Learning for school leaders on implementing a schoolwide positive behavior system. ● BWell Recommendations ■ Year 1 Actions: Communications, processes, data collection and programming ● 90-day plan progress indicators at the school level Potential Indicators: PD Completion, % of 90 day plan goals associated with Valued and Included, school-based belonging efforts, completion of BWell year 1 actions. 22

Define the Destination Throughout their PK-12 career, ALL students access career exploration opportunities and earn at least one of the following: ● Industry certification ● College Credit ● Work-Based Learning Experience ● Seal of Biliteracy

Implementation: ● Career exploration opportunities at all levels ● Clear path of coursework for students based on career interest ● Students’ academic experiences align with their post-secondary goals
