10/21/2026 Regular Student Achievement & Outcomes Committee Meeting

The Bristol Public Schools Student Achievement & Outcomes Committee met on October 21, 2026. Members approved the September 16 meeting minutes, with one abstention. The main procurement-related item was a high-dosage tutoring grant of up to $50,000 to support a revised Algebra 1 foundation and tutoring model for freshmen. Most funding is planned for tutoring, with allocations for teacher planning and a program coordinator to recruit, hire, vet, and coordinate tutors with the vendor. Tutoring is expected to begin in the second quarter. The presentation described the grant as a one-year opportunity; no vendor selection, contract award, or spending vote was reported.

The committee also reviewed Smarter Balanced assessment results, freshman on-track rates, and the district’s academic improvement plans, including school-level data analysis and intervention pilots. A presentation outlined the K–5 visual arts and music curriculum. No other procurement activity was identified.
