State Lands Trust funding meetings

State trust lands were granted by the United States Congress to states upon entering the Union. These lands were designated to support essential public institutions, primarily public schools. State trust land managers lease and sell these lands to generate revenue for current and future designated beneficiaries.

 With funding from State Lands Trusts, the Rich Middle School will administer a STAR reading test to all students in 6-8th grades.  The tests will be administered at the beginning of the first grading period and the end of each grading period.  The first test will be the baseline and the last test in the spring will be the post test for evaluating the goal.  We will also look at the V-Port (voyager) benchmark reading data as an additional measurement. 

Each student in grades K-5 will be given a fall, winter, and spring benchmark DIBELS assessment.  The baseline data will consist of the Fall benchmark and the  final measurement utilized for growth measurement will be the spring benchmark.  Schools will also give each student in grades 1-5 a STAR reading test at the beginning and end of each marking period.  The baseline data will be comprised of the fall testing results.  These results will be compared with the last STAR test given in the spring to measure growth.

There will be public hearings:

North Rich Elementary Trust Lands Meeting – October 15 – 3:30 – NRE Lab

Rich Middle School Trust Lands Meeting – October 16 – 3:30 – RMS Lab

Public is invited.  Agendas are on the school web pages or available at the school office.
