In addition to the dual enrollment program, the Board addressed the need for special services out-of-district placements, which is important for meeting the diverse needs of the student population. The mention of reappointments of staff and amendments to home instruction appointments further underscored the Board’s focus on staffing and special services.

The Board discussed the procurement of these vehicles, emphasizing the need to replace aging vehicles and provide for the transportation of students requiring wheelchair access.

Another topic was the plan for paving the Harrison School parking lot, which will take place after the completion of the Harrison School field.

Financial and facility updates were also on the agenda, with the Board set to approve contracts, purchases, and service agreements. Among these, the renewal of the food service vendor contract was mentioned.

The Board also touched on policy updates and the importance of being transparent with the public regarding a forthcoming referendum.

Public comments included a report from the Quad Education Foundation on the success of their annual 5K fundraiser, which saw increases in participation and gross revenue, amounting to approximately $46,000.
