Upcoming School Plan: Pahvant Elementary
2026-2027 School LAND Trust Plan
Goal
Students will achieve a minimum proficiency as follows: 55% ELA, and 65% Mathematics. Also, at least 80 % of students will achieve one year’s growth in ELA and mathematics. Anticipated to be completed by May 29, 2027.
Academic Areas:
- Mathematics
- English Language Arts
Measurements.
- RISE Benchmarks will be used to measure progress toward achieving proficiency in each area as follows: 55% ELA and 65% Mathematics. Also, at least 80 % of students will achieve one year’s growth in ELA and mathematics.
- RISE End-of-Level Assessments will be used to measure success towards our proficiency goals as follows: 55% ELA and 65% Mathematics. Also, at least 80 % of students will achieve one year’s growth in ELA and mathematics.
- The latest data we have from RISE is from spring 2025. At that time, we had 49% of students proficient in ELA and 53% proficient in Mathematics.
Add Action Steps and Expenditures:
1. Hire 7 IAs to work with students in classrooms and small groups in ELA and
Mathematics to increase both growth and proficiency in each of these areas.
Backup Plan
- IAs are hourly employees, and because of this, if they take leave, those funds will remain in our budget. This could leave a portion of the funding unused. For this reason or any reason we end up with any surplus, we are adding a contingency for this funding. Additional funds in this area can be used to purchase additional teaching supplies, such as language or math software and supplemental technology supplies that tie directly to our goal. As well as to pay teachers for common planning time above contractual time.
2. We will purchase reading and Math Software programs and Materials to support our
RTI process.
Planned Expenditures
Digital Citizenship Component
At Pahvant Elementary, we cover digital citizenship and safety in NOVA, Second Step, and have an assembly for our student body to learn about current issues and to help them better understand appropriate internet use and the dangers that can and do exist. (estimated $600 allocated from TSSA Funds)
Estimated Carryover (as needed if the carry-over is >10%)
Funds to be carried over should be identified for a specific future need and should not be saved for unexpected contingencies.
Funding Changes
If expenditures in a plan are provided through a different funding source, making funds available to implement the goals in this plan, how will the funds be used differently to implement this plan?
Plans for Expenditures of Increased Distribution
Any additional funds will be used to improve or enhance the following key components of our school plan: Instructional Supplies/Professional Development/Software/Technology Related Hardware/Equipment and/or salaries and benefits.
How does this relate to the school improvement/strategic plan?
Key academic goals outlined in the Pahvant Elementary School Improvement Plan are to ensure that all students read proficiently at grade level, possess grade-level mathematics skills, and acquire effective writing competencies. Trust Lands' funding will be utilized to support reading, math, and writing instruction at all levels throughout the school.
