Governance Committee Meeting

The Governance Committee meeting of the Racine Unified School District on June 2, 2026, primarily focused on discussions around the assessment and measurement of oral language skills in students from kindergarten through third grade, as mandated by Act 20. The committee debated the definition and scope of oral language, its integration with reading and writing assessments, and the challenges of creating consistent rubrics for oral presentations and fluency. There was no procurement-related activity such as contract awards or vendor selections discussed. The committee agreed to clarify the assessment scope to K-3 oral language and planned to include this clarification in the consent agenda for the upcoming business meeting. The discussion highlighted the complexity of measuring oral language and the need for further development of assessment tools and policies.
