September 30, 2026--Board of Trustees Public Meeting

The Redwood City School District Board of Trustees held a study session on September 30, 2026, focused on how formative assessments and professional learning communities support student achievement, especially early literacy. Staff described the district’s use of i-Ready, Solution Tree coaching, and literacy screeners, along with assessment schedules, data collection, and interventions. The board noted that i-Ready, Solution Tree, and screener contracts are considered separately on consent agendas; no contract award, procurement vote, or spending decision was made at this meeting.

Discussion touched on resource needs and possible future budget priorities, including additional coaching, a professional development grant, and whether to replace older computers and iPads used for assessments. Trustees also discussed the time and instructional impact of assessments and asked staff to examine alternatives and provide follow-up data. These were discussion items only; no purchases or funding allocations were approved. The board approved the meeting agenda and later adjourned.
