# VPS Study Session 09/15/26

The VPS Board of Directors held a study session on September 15, 2026, focusing primarily on academic performance data and strategic goals for the district. The meeting included a detailed presentation on declining third grade English Language Arts (ELA) scores and flat middle school math performance, with discussions on curriculum effectiveness and instructional materials. The board explored the use of supplemental programs like the University of Florida Literacy Institute (UFLI) for early literacy and the Readymath curriculum for middle school math, alongside plans for professional development and potential curriculum adoption. While no direct procurement decisions or contract awards were made, the discussion highlighted ongoing evaluation of curricular materials and vendor engagement, which could influence future purchasing and budget allocations. The session concluded with plans for continued data monitoring and strategic adjustments to improve student outcomes.
