  • READ Act at LQPV
    • Minnesota Reading to Ensure Academic Development Act, known as the READ Act, was passed and signed into law by Governor Tim Walz on May 24, 2023. The goal of this legislation is to have every Minnesota child reading at or above grade level every year, beginning in kindergarten, and to support multilingual learner and students receiving special education services in achieving their individualized reading goals in order to meet grade level proficiency. 
    • Per MDE Mandated READ Act requirements, the LQPV School District is utilizing an assessment called CaptiReadBasix to identify specific areas of academic need as it relates to students in grades 4-12. 
      Data from this assessment will be used alongside classroom work, teacher observation, and formative & summative assessments that are already in place, to support students.  The CaptiReadBasix assessment data will support the LQPV teachers to better tailor instruction to meet student needs.  Our goal is to ensure that all students get the support they need in order to be most successful in reading, in school, and in life.

  • Comprehensive Achievement and Civic Readiness ​/ Achievement and Integration (CACR/A&I) at LQPV

      • Close racial and economic achievement gaps.
      • All students are ready for career and college.
      • All students graduate.
      • ​All students are prepared to be lifelong learners.
      • LQPV School District is currently in its third three-year A&I Plan.
