A strategic investment in inclusive, future-ready learning powered by intelligent EAL support The decision to implement FlashAcademy® follows successful test-and-learn pilots across numerous ISP schools, including several of their LabSchools. On average, a 66% increase in language learning progress was recorded by students using the tool. 80% of student cohorts within the pilot progressed by at least one English language proficiency band, exceeding industry benchmarks.

'One of the biggest milestones in life' reached for Warden grads
Jun. 12—WARDEN — Warden High School held its graduation ceremony last Friday to celebrate its students as they move on from high school and into their futures. "To the class of 2025, we did it. But more importantly, you did," said Miliany Pruneda, Warden High School's valedictorian. "You have accomplished one of the biggest milestones in life, high school graduation." Pruneda thanked her family for all the support and motivation that they have given her throughout her journey. She said her greatest motivation in earning the title of valedictorian came from her brother, whom she saw pushing himself every day. "I did what I could to be my best and this was my best," said Pruneda. Her parents, Omar and Belinda Pruneda, are both extremely proud of her efforts in graduating and achieving valedictorian. Miliany said she plans on attending Washington State University to study Elementary School Education this fall. There, she hopes to get an English Language Learning endorsement and obtain her master's degree. Graciela Castillo said she wanted to give thanks to the faculty at the school for the time and energy they put into creating an environment that allowed the class to thrive in achieving better futures for themselves. One of the greatest memories she has taken from her time in high school is her part in working on the mural they created at the elementary school in Warden. "Having all the kids and teachers come walking by the hallway and saying, 'Oh my gosh, I want to do that,'" she said. "It really makes me happy seeing that I've hopefully inspired many other people to do the same thing." Castillo said her love of art comes from her fascination with ancient Roman architecture while she took an independent study class in TRIO. She plans on attending the University of Idaho to get her master's in architecture along with a minor in interior design, and afterward, she hopes to make a trip to Rome to visit the Pantheon, which has become her inspiration. For some, the graduation brought both happy and sad feelings, such as for Yaretzi Catalan Ayala. "I feel really happy, but really emotional because I'm going to miss high school and my old teachers," she said. One of the moments she recalls being very proud of from her time in high school was her efforts in cross country as she pushed through her own struggles and still accomplished her goals. "It was a hard time doing cross country and I feel really accomplished that I did it," she said. Anthony Gutierrez said that at the time, the feeling of finally being out of school hadn't fully hit him yet. "It just feels amazing," he said. "I knew I was going to make it and just the hard work in the classroom, outside the classroom, everything, it all paid off to this day," At the end of her speech, Pruneda said the quote that their class chose came from Tim McGraw, where he said, "Chase your dreams, but always know the road that'll lead you home again." Pruneda said that the most important thing the class can do as they move forward is to remember where they came from and cherish the lifelong connections and friendships made along the way. "Now we are sitting here at the end of our high school journey, and I know many of us are starting to feel so many emotions about starting our new lives and that's OK because it's part of the process," said Pruneda. "The best advice I could give to you is to close your eyes, breathe and believe in yourself because I know you can do it."

Two of 5 Columbus City schools tapped for closure to shutter after 2025-2026 school year
Columbus City Schools unveiled its plan June 3 as to how it will go about closing four of the five schools it previously voted to shutter, with two of the schools closing after the 2025-2026 school year. The CCS board voted in December 2024 to close Broadleigh Elementary, Buckeye Middle School, Moler Elementary and the building that houses Columbus Alternative High School. The board also voted to close West Broad Elementary — under the condition that the board can secure funding to replace the school building on the site — and to close the Downtown board office building at 270 E. State St. On June 3, Superintendent Angela Chapman said the board now has a better understanding of all the moving pieces and parts of how the district plans to close schools. "This work does not happen overnight, and it certainly doesn't happen in a vacuum," Chapman said. At the meeting, Chapman highlighted a multi-phased plan where two of the schools the five schools the district has set for closure — Broadleigh Elementary and Moler Elementary —could close in the first phase after the 2025-2026 school year. Students at Broadleigh Elementary will be divided among Eastgate, East Columbus and Farimoor elementary schools, said Russell Brown, chief of strategy and performance for the district. The district will work with families who receive special education English Language Learning services to ensure students still receive those services. Moler Elementary students will be relocated to Livingston and Lincoln Park Elementary schools. Both Broadleigh and Moler Elementary schools will have engagement opportunities with families and send-offs and commemorations for the buildings before they are closed. Chapman said these are "big decisions for our school communities." "So we want to make sure we are being very thoughtful and very intentional as it relates to the planning, but we also want to make sure that we have lots of opportunity to engage with the families so they know what's next for them," Chapman said. Students in the two schools slated for closure will have access to a preferential lottery system if they want to explore other options in the district. In the second and third phases of the plan, Buckeye Middle School and the McGuffey Road facility that houses Columbus Alternative High School will have additional community interaction during the 2025-26 school year, when determinations will be made about how to close the buildings, Brown said. The initial proposal for Buckeye Middle School was moving students to Marion-Franklin High School, but Brown said the Marion-Franklin site would still be "significantly underutilized" and would create another problem of creating a grades 6-12 education site. Brown said that the 2025-2026 school year will be used to explore long-term options that would support "standardization" of the grades at South High School and Marion-Franklin High to the grade levels served at other CCS high schools. Both Downtown High School and East High School were proposed as future sites for Columbus Alternative, but long-term planning suggests that East High School's population could expand as a result of an increasing number of students from its feeder schools, which would limit the ability of the building to host another program on the site, Brown said. The fourth phase would be implemented once funding is identified to replace West Broad Elementary. The district has repeatedly emphasized that it will not plan for a transition for that school until a funding source to replace it has been identified. Once a funding source has been identified, it could take up to three years to complete the replacement, Brown said. Cole Behrens covers K-12 education and school districts in central Ohio.
