At the April 2023 Board meeting, the Jeffco Board recognized the “talented teachers” at Lumberg and Lasley elementary schools.
The fact is that the levels of academic achievement at Lumberg and Lasley are atrocious.
Take a look at the 2022-23 CMAS Results for Lumberg:
That’s 11% proficient in ELA and 5% proficient in Math. The Jeffco Board wants people to believe that the “talented teachers” at that school deserve to be recognized.
Things are only marginally better at Lasley with 24% proficient in ELA and 16% proficient in Math.
Even growth at these schools is horrendous!
What was the Jeffco Board attempting to accomplish with this recognition? Should the teachers at these schools now think they are doing a great job? And what about teachers in other schools who see this? What should they think? What happened is that the Board just set an extraordinarily low bar for achievement and recognition the district. How can we ever expect to see things improve when the bar has been set so low?
Jeffco leadership is a joke.
