The White Salmon Valley School District is working on providing more support for students who need it. Superintendent Rich Polkinghorn says they prepared for about a year-and-a-half before rolling it out in recent months. It’s a multi-tiered system of support, using data to screen student academic achievement, identifying those who need help early, and getting them the support early and often. Polkinghorn also said they have a group of teachers developing a new K-12 math curriculum for the district that should be ready for adoption soon. He says the goal is to create students who are critical thinkers and problem solvers.
