Please remember, public comments can only be made about items on the current meetings agenda.The lack of transparency and communication regarding changes at Pondorosa has been unsettling. The district adopted NES without input from parents or teachers. We have significant, genuine concerns and need answers. Refusing to meet with parents who want to have open conversations about our children’s education is unacceptable. District policy was not followed in adopting the new math curriculum.  Computer generated slides are developed in the administrative office and handed over to teachers without a supporting manual or a textbook.  What qualifications do the people adapting the Eureka math curriculum have?  How are you assessing student learning?  Dr. Brown told parents that “NESA framework provides … structured curriculum…, instruction, pacing, and feedback are managed by … [teachers].”  If this is an untested adaptation of the curriculum, you need to be evaluating the materials you provide as well as the instruction.  Who is evaluating the curriculum?  Are you asking for teacher feedback?  Waiting to see if there is improvement in test scores is a gamble with our children's education. Test scores are a limited tool for evaluating educational outcomes and student understanding. Reteach is important for students who need support, but enrichment should also offer students the opportunity to learn at their level.  In 6th grade, math enrichment is working on packets without assistance from a teacher.  In ELA, enrichment is silent reading.  Under no definition is this enriching student learning. NES was first implemented in Texas just three years ago. Klamath is expediting adoption of a new version of NES.  Who is assessing this program and how are assessments being conducted? The district is developing this program and asking teachers to implement it with limited support for the teachers and students.  We need accountability and assessment at the administrative level.  We need parent and teachers working groups and open conversations.
