WES Math Task Force — $3,000

Curricular Area: STEM

Schools: District Wide

As the White Salmon Valley School District prepares to adopt a new math curriculum in 2026–27, this grant creates a district-wide Math Task Force to build teacher capacity around high-quality, inquiry-based mathematics instruction. Funding will support job-embedded professional development — including peer classroom observations and collaborative planning sessions — and send a team of five teachers to the regional Northwest Math Conference in both 2026 and 2027. By developing in-house expertise that can be shared across all buildings, the initiative aims to raise district-wide math proficiency rates by 15% by 2028.
