Concord Board of Education Instructional Committee | 1-12-26

The Concord School District's Board of Education Instructional Committee met on January 12, 2026, to discuss instructional data systems and curriculum planning, particularly focusing on student performance data collection and analysis tools. Presenters detailed the transition from the state's discontinued Performance Plus platform to a new data system that tracks attendance, academic progress, behavioral incidents, and intervention participation to support multi-tiered student interventions. The committee also reviewed two proposed curriculum plans (Plan A and Plan B) for the Class of 2030 and beyond, addressing state-mandated 306 credit requirements and their impact on course flexibility and electives, especially in math and financial literacy. After discussion, the committee unanimously approved a modified Plan C, which incorporates elements from both plans to maintain rigorous math standards while preserving elective opportunities. The committee emphasized transparent communication with students and families regarding these changes and the importance of data-driven instructional support.
