May 12, 2026 School Board Work Session

The Beaverton School District held a School Board Work Session on May 12, 2026, focused on student assessment and the implementation of multi-tiered systems of support (MTSS). The discussion centered on the district's comprehensive assessment framework, including formative, interim benchmark, and summative assessments, and how these tools inform instruction and support equitable student outcomes. The board reviewed the phased rollout of MTSS, particularly in K-5 literacy, and plans to expand to mathematics and secondary education. Key topics included the use of the STAR universal screener, the WIN instructional block for targeted support, and the importance of data disaggregation to address equity gaps. Budget considerations were also discussed, emphasizing the protection of investments in instructional coaches and MTSS despite funding challenges. While no specific procurement actions or contract awards were mentioned, the presentation highlighted ongoing investments in instructional materials and professional learning aligned with the district's strategic priorities.
