CUSD’s Formative Assessment Data Shows Positive Trends in Academic Performance |
|
Fewer students at Capistrano Unified School District schools required intensive and strategic support during the 2021-2022 school year, according to formative assessment data that district officials presented to the Board of Trustees last week. The report, which also found that there was a decrease in the number of students receiving D and F grades, was based on the first full year of CUSD’s academic plan, referred to as the multi-tiered system of supports (MTSS)—an academic plan to provide support to students struggling to meet certain benchmarks. |

New pathway to a diploma opens doors for students with disabilities |
|
Megan Glynn’s son, Liam, started playing piano at age 4. With perfect pitch, he sails through Mozart and Vivaldi, can play anything he hears on the radio and shines when performing with the school orchestra. But because he has a significant developmental disability, he cannot earn a high school diploma, and therefore his dream of becoming a classroom music aide is just that — a dream. |

Since then, he’s been a teacher, assistant principal, principal, school board director, and interim superintendent, followed by a return to the school board. During that time, Yee has seen the district grow, be taken over by the state and plunged into debt, cycle through superintendents, and try a number of reforms to improve school quality. |
