Staff said last summer’s volume of repairs created significant downtime that affected student access. A vendor change in the second half of the year shortened repair turnaround from months to weeks; staff reported a most-recent average downtime of about 1.81 days measured in the last quarter, down toward the district goal of roughly 1.27 days. “Things that were taking months are now taking weeks to get returned,” a presenter said.

The district described a leasing option that allows schools to exchange damaged devices for new ones quickly rather than waiting for repair. Staff said the pilot currently covers 5,000 leased devices at seven schools and will expand to 10,000 devices across 14 schools, with a planned refresh/lease term of four years. Staff also said leased-device vendors perform twice-weekly sweeps to collect damaged devices and that some pilot schools showed far fewer damaged devices after rollout.

Board members asked how the district defines “downtime.” Staff answered that downtime measures the time between device damage and the student receiving another working device; the district’s operational goal is that students not be without a device for more than a day. Staff noted other device-related purchases — such as headphones — remain district-purchased items outside leasing agreements.

Staff framed leasing as a response to technology depreciation and the logistical costs of maintaining large inventories purchased with one-time federal funds. “When that depreciation occurs ... your asset really isn't an asset anymore,” a presenter said, explaining a leasing model shifts replacement responsibility to vendors and can improve reliability.

District staff said they are also considering Apple leasing arrangements for iPads and additional refresh planning to move eventually to a fully leased district fleet if the expansion proves successful.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","June 24th, 2025 1:00 pm Board Workshop | Osceola School District","oneSentenceSummary","After switching vendors and piloting leased devices at seven schools, district staff reported repair turnaround improved and are expanding leasing to 14 schools to reduce student downtime; staff described the leasing refresh cycle as four years.","taxTitle","Osceola, School Districts, Florida","taxId",14353,"location","Florida","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6186672,"Osceola reports large gains in district grade and first-time test proficiency; state data pending",1145,3998000,5143000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5074427-86691da9d4bc50b55112f42124bdc406&start=3998&end=5143","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5074427-86691da9d4bc50b55112f42124bdc406/thumbnail_3998000.jpg","/articles/6186672/Florida/Osceola-reports-large-gains-in-district-grade-and-first-time-test-proficiency-state-data-pending","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6186672-3e28f7e8b35079a29c2934b75f6b7865/orig.mp4?Expires=1770589726&Signature=G8aC25zs7XgrirUveZRftrwm0eeESKdJMdjzE0n3w3mVZvg4GqAziI5965BjsCOj933MAmlMXx0g74bV11EXh7bxfNWtrIv8mKhGiZNZI~NRbieYIJ5aWE2UZ7BFZxHLu-zZg3f7yPalPMnJsyYZ095AQEXCX8TH9HMNjNMTsst-XX1wCo-6IY1YwbAu7nIG6GAh8gbDLTw3vBnN7ywDt~zcO52MwU7j2OfBBzLqzUcgm~S9qFrmVUQxAcYkRUdpuEaPP7xXCbFvOu9DU0uBWovPm9j-aTj6FuXzBV0CNzMQYrSEQ81j08L0Q26Mif9f0E6usrUb7y-~OuXzjmgBnw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Osceola County School District officials reported sizable year-over-year gains in academic measures, including a projected improvement in the district grade and increases in first-time proficiency for Algebra I and 10th-grade ELA FAST.

Presenters said the district’s aggregate score rose by 37 percentage points from the baseline to a projected 62 total points out of a 64-point year-one target; staff described that as the highest B-level performance in district history while noting the score is still a preliminary, projected figure pending final state and alternate-assessment results. “We are looking at 62% total possible points with a remarkable, 37 total points jump,” a presenter said.

On targeted assessments, the district reported results that exceeded year-one goals: Algebra I first-time test takers were reported at 57% proficiency against a 50% goal, and 10th-grade ELA FAST first-time test-takers showed 57% proficiency against a 52% goal. Staff credited focused leadership, targeted professional learning and test-taking strategy work for the gains, and said district leaders took the tests themselves to better understand the student experience.

Graduation-related metrics were also positive: the district-operated schools’ graduation rate was reported at 91.7% with additional summer graduates expected to raise the number slightly. Staff reminded the board that some acceleration and graduation measures lag and will update after summer programs and state confirmation.

Next steps, staff said, include aligning school improvement plans to a narrowed set of initiatives, strengthening MTSS implementation using EduCLIMBER and enhanced Power BI dashboards, and using released FAST assessment items to teach test-taking strategies in classrooms.

Officials repeatedly emphasized that some reported figures are “projected” and that alternate-assessment data and final state releases remain outstanding. The board asked staff to capture and package the successful high-school-focused professional learning and leadership practices so those approaches can be replicated across schools.","District officials reported a projected 37-point jump in district grading components and higher first-time proficiency rates for Algebra I and 10th-grade ELA FAST, while noting final state results and alternate assessments are not yet complete.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6186676,"Osceola presents first-year strategic plan KPIs, asks board for guidance on measures and next steps",341,633000,974000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5074427-86691da9d4bc50b55112f42124bdc406&start=633&end=974","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5074427-86691da9d4bc50b55112f42124bdc406/thumbnail_633000.jpg","/articles/6186676/Florida/Osceola-presents-first-year-strategic-plan-KPIs-asks-board-for-guidance-on-measures-and-next-steps","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6186676-ad0b5b5604867868da88d4949c97ea7d/orig.mp4?Expires=1770589726&Signature=L8GD12eQntaNsMuturdnXPvzGGS0hjQXvApyFIKEl6s~F4jR2uZ9dOmITUTi6UVhsUn1xsA1xcpcPUEhEDDfrxUH9Qv4jPsxVAEcne4QkRVyqvtbHUBdemw9XbmowJy7agSqZonH30FQA377w-tYVg1AbyIJEPRr76Y4y-4vrT3CnjIGQbO2kRp5A6mXLx24s8L6U5Iizrm1ip6qiZfs6npyWMEmMsbQY3zSr3ND~tIo6Kg09nv~2-0TVrQukhDnZFeH5Id-B1-st5quzYIAuNU2XUWewHpNHNv4KWHRiVoV9HGzaU41WY2wsbpk7kS3m1kIpYufow9DYUolHKlzcg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Osceola County School District leaders presented the first-year results and baseline key performance indicators from the strategic plan adopted earlier this year, asking the board for guidance on which measures to keep and how to refine reporting.

The plan, the presenters said, is structured around five value drivers — engagement, alignment, community, achievement and culture — and emphasizes cross-functional goal leads rather than department-only pillars. “Unlike traditional strategic plans, this is more cross functional in nature,” one presenter said, explaining that goal leads often come from different departments to “increase perspective, ... innovation, [and] collaboration.”

The presentation covered multiple KPIs, with staff noting that some indicators already show positive movement while others are trending the wrong way. Presenters emphasized that the KPIs are baseline measures and that some items may need to be sunset or rethought. “These are the KPIs that we have currently. And, again, always looking for your input,” a presenter said.

District staff walked the board through how each value driver is organized: a purpose statement, a short list of “big rock” activities, and KPIs that staff said represent the best available measures at this time. Staff repeatedly recommended disaggregating some KPIs — for example by leave type or grade band — to make the data more actionable.

Board members asked for additional clarity about how measures will be monitored over time, who will own specific KPIs and how staff will handle items that reach the target (for example, whether a met KPI should be placed into a monitoring queue). Staff suggested color-coding charts by leave type, increasing the regular cadence of principal briefings for particular metrics, and using initiative inventories to reduce overlapping or ineffective measures.

District staff also sought direction on expanding certain KPIs into virtual or on-demand formats (for example, parent academies and community input sessions) and on where to pilot performance-based contracts. The presenters flagged several follow-up activities for the coming year: disaggregate leave data, expand device-leasing pilots, continue the initiative inventory to narrow priorities, and formalize a cadence for sharing specific KPIs with principals or department leads.

Board discussion focused on making KPIs more actionable, improving data timeliness and ensuring that baseline indicators evolve into operational targets that drive specific, accountable actions.","District leaders reviewed baseline key performance indicators across five value drivers — engagement, alignment, community, achievement and culture — and asked the school board for input on measures to keep, modify or sunset as they move from baseline to regular reporting.","actionData","errors"]
