Our goal:
The MCA Math race-based proficiency gap at Mahtomedi Public Schools for students in grades 3-8 and 11 will decrease from 14.% to 10% or less in 2023.

Our results:
We saw an increase in our race-based proficiency gap from 14% in 2019 to 21.9% in 2021.

Action Steps used for 2020-2021:

Students were invited in for more time during Hybrid and Distance Learning while in those learning models. We called it Enhanced Learning. They were invited based on academic, social-emotional, and other needs.
Counselors ran multiple groups focused on students who may have increased risk factors (including poverty).
To ensure that transportation was not a barrier, textbooks/ Chromebooks/ other materials were delivered to students' homes
We increased the modality of our outreach - we hosted many virtual meetings and support activities in addition to face to face meetings and activities to support students and families
Equity initiative from our strategic plan and beliefs. The student-led BASE group met biweekly throughout the year and that will continue this year.

Some strategies we plan to initiate or continue during the 2021-2022 school year:

Counselors ran multiple groups focused on students who may have increased risk factors (including poverty).
We are revising our systemic approach to Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS)
We offered increased opportunities for summer school programs. While these did not impact our 2020-2021 data, we are eager to see the impact on our 2021-2022 data. Additionally, we intend to continue with an expanded summer school opportunity and sustain both transportation and breakfast for the summer of 2022.
We will sustain (or increase) the number of student organizations and activities to connect kids to school and to each other.
