Superintendent Reykdal’s K-12 Education Vision “The goal of our education system is to prepare all of our students for post- secondary aspirations, careers, and life.” 8/9/2019 OFFICE OF SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION

Measuring Success Performance Indicators Measures of Success Increase four- and five-year high school graduation rates Increase enrollment and completion rates and decrease remediation rates in post-secondary training and education Performance Indicators We must help students: Enter kindergarten with expected skills in all six areas identified by the Washington Kindergarten Inventory of Developing Skills (WaKIDS). Meet standard on the 3rd-, 8th-, and 11th-grade statewide English language arts (ELA) and math assessments, and the 8th-grade statewide science assessment. Grow toward proficiency in ELA and math, as determined by Student Growth Percentiles, in 4th and 6th grades. Enroll in Algebra I/Integrated Math I by the end of 8th or 9th grade and earn high school credit. Enroll in college-level courses and earn dual credit. Take the SAT and ACT and earn college-ready scores. Access financial aid for post-secondary learning. We must help students avoid: 9th-grade course failure. Suspensions and expulsions. Chronic absenteeism. Measuring Success

Discipline Data: 2015–16 School Year Discipline data publically released on August 4, 2017 3.7% of all students in Washington were suspended or expelled during the 2015–16 school year (42,581 students in total) Statewide discipline rates are decreasing: Out-of-School Exclusions: 5% decrease (1804 fewer students than 2014–15) Long-term Suspensions: 18% decrease (592 fewer students than 2014–15) Expulsions: 41% decrease (497 fewer students than 2014–15) However, racial disparities and disparities by other student groups continue…

HB 1541 (2016): Overview (a) Reduce the length of time students of color are excluded from school due to suspension and expulsion and provide students support for reengagement plans; (b) Enhance the cultural competence of current and future educators and classified staff; (c) Endorse all educators in English language learner and second language acquisition; (d) Account for the transitional bilingual instruction program instructional services provided to English language learner students; (e) Analyze the opportunity gap through deeper disaggregation of student demographic data; (f) Invest in the recruitment, hiring, and retention of educators of color; (g) Incorporate integrated student services and family engagement; and (h) Strengthen student transitions at each stage of the education development pathway: Early learning to elementary, elementary to secondary, secondary to college and career.

4SHB 1541: Disproportionality in Student Discipline A long-term suspension or expulsion must not exceed the length of an academic term. School districts restricted from using long-term suspension or expulsion except for certain severe behavior violations. School districts may not suspend the provision of educational services as a disciplinary action and must provide an opportunity for students to receive educational services while suspended or expelled. School districts must use disaggregated data to monitor the impact of district discipline policies and procedures. School districts must review and update discipline policies and procedures in consultation with staff, students, families, and the community.

Recent Laws: Intended Impact Consistent with research on best practices in discipline, recent federal and state laws are intended to: 1) Limit the use of exclusionary discipline practices in schools. 2) Minimize the impact of exclusionary discipline practices on students who are excluded. 3) Reduce disparities in the administration of student discipline

Recent Changes in State Laws Example: Length of Exclusions Exclusion Type Maximum Length Before 2013 After 2013 After 2016 Short-term Suspension 10 consecutive school days Long-term Suspension Undefined One calendar year The length of an academic term Expulsion Indefinite Emergency Expulsion

Recent Changes in State Laws Impact: Long-Term Suspension and Expulsion OFFICE OF SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION 8/9/2019

Process For Building A System OFFICE OF SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION 8/9/2019

Key Strategies And Interventions Goal has always been sustainability beyond the life of the grant For each type of support (PBIS, Prevention/Intervention, and Mental Health Counseling), there is a tiered system that includes referral processes, decision rules, and data collection Each support has a building-based team monitoring and adjusting procedures as needed. Each also has a district-office based coach or director who checks in regularly with all school teams. OFFICE OF SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION 8/9/2019

PBIS Implementation 2 full-time district-wide PBIS coaches 9 of our 18 schools are fully implementing Tier 1! District-level PBIS team with 23 members Schools that are ready have moved on to Tier 2 implementation All schools are implementing components of Tier 1 and have PBIS teams that meet at least monthly Second Step social-emotional learning program purchased for all primary buildings. Planning for delivery across district in 2017-18.
