What this document actually says
This document outlines the Math Task Force's plan to expand advanced math access for all Reed Union School District students. In January 2022, the Board approved offering Math 7C (accelerated 7th grade math) to all 7th graders starting in 2023-24, allowing them to take Algebra I in 8th grade. Previously, only some students could access this pathway. The task force analyzed CAASPP and MAP assessment data showing approximately 70-75% of students meet or exceed math standards. The group identified achievement gaps for students with disabilities, some ethnic groups, and socio-economically disadvantaged students. The plan includes districtwide PreK-8th grade program evaluation, teacher training, and support systems to meet individual student needs while maintaining rigor.
What this means for your family
Starting in 2023-24, all 7th graders will take an accelerated math course (Math 7C) that prepares them for Algebra I in 8th grade, rather than requiring special placement. This gives more students access to advanced high school math courses. The district will provide additional teacher training and student support to help all children succeed in this more rigorous curriculum.
