Five years ago in the Dietrich School District, it became clear to Superintendent Stefanie Shaw that something wasn’t working. The district managed to implement a handful of new programs without a supplemental levy, instead relying on federal programs and grants. On top of the small teacher to student ratio, Shaw uses most of her Title 1 funds to hire paraprofessionals. The constant data monitoring isn’t just for reading, in math student data also informs instruction, Shaw said. “It’s every teacher,” Shaw said.
