Houghton-Portage Township School Board Meeting 10-19-15
A targeted learning approach making progress and this year’s enrollment projections were topics discussed at the recent Houghton-Portage Township School Board meeting.
The elementary Multi-Tier System of Supports team, or MTSS, presented their results of the focus groups so far.
The system consists of a reading assessment and a behavioral observation.
These tests and observations help to strengthen curriculum in the elementary school and give students the targeted learning help they need.
The data so far shows a great improvement in benchmark assessment scores.
Enrollment projections in the school district showed a significant 3 year growth period from 2012-2014.
This year, however, a slight decrease in enrollment.
Superintendent, Doreen Klingbeil is looking into a data projection consultant to look further into these numbers.
