Summary

Superintendent Cortez presented 2025 dashboard data showing district‑level improvement from 'red' to higher tiers and early 'yellow' results for science, crediting PLN and county partnerships and professional development.

Superintendent Cortez told trustees that the district’s 2025 accountability dashboard shows notable gains and that, collectively, the district is now "out of the red." The superintendent credited the professional learning network (PLN), partnerships with the Monterey County Office of Education (MCOE) and focused professional development for the districtwide improvement.

Cortez said science results are being reported this year for the first time and that the district’s initial science outcome is 'yellow.' She emphasized interventions, PLCs and data chats that let teachers analyze student work and deploy targeted supports. "It does take an entire team," Cortez said, noting the roles of counselors, bus drivers and classified staff in supporting student success.

Board members praised site efforts and highlighted parent cafes and school events as evidence of strong community engagement. Trustees said site walkthroughs and district supports are visible and pledged continued support for teacher training and targeted programs.
