AI-generated transcript of Data Talk 2: The Gap is Growing

[Lisa Kingsley]: While our district's average score has changed little year over year, our high-needs students are falling further behind. In 2024, one in four high-needs student wasn't meeting grade level expectations. In 2025, that number grew, representing one more student per classroom slipping below grade level. A one-point change in data represents dozens of students, real kids, who need more support. When we stop talking about student data, we stop seeing who's being left behind. We can't close gaps we don't name.
