Reports on student testing data, the use of technology and a new program for physical education will be on Tuesday’s agenda for the Garden Grove Unified School District Board of Education.
The board meets at 7 p.m. in the Education Center, 10331 Stanford Ave., Garden Grove on the fifth floor.
A presentation will be made to the board on results from this year’s student state testing scores by Chris Ash (director of evaluation and research), Monica-Ibarra Acosta (director of K-6 instructional services) and Kelly McAmis (director of 7-12 instructional services).
The board will also take up the district’s Technology Plan 2013-16 to be submitted to the state board of education. The plan is a guide to how technology will be used from July 1, 2013 through June 30, 2016 in curriculum development and support, and will touch on district infrastructure, technical support, hardware and software, expansion and maintenance.
Another item to be considered will be the “Healthy For Life” program offered by Kaiser Permanente Orange County and St. Jude Hospital to promote physical activity and healthy eating. A goal will be to improve “on-task” student classroom behavior, overall academic performance and student fitness.
Teachers from Excelsior, Faylane, Riverdale and Woodbury elementary schools have expressed interest in participation.
