The curriculum committee reported promising student growth as measured by the I-Ready diagnostic assessments. With the assessment window closing soon, students have shown substantial progress from fall to winter. The committee also outlined goals for the 2024-2025 school year, emphasizing new curriculum resources and professional development for staff. A report using publicly accessible data revealed that students in grades three to eight are performing in the 60 to 80 percentile range for English Language Arts and math, with science scores fluctuating between 40 and 60 percent in recent years.

On the facilities front, the board discussed the financial burden of mold remediation in older school buildings. An insurance claim has been submitted, but due to the age of the buildings, the deductible is set at $250,000. The board is awaiting a response from the insurance group and considering future negotiations to potentially lower deductibles if building updates occur.

The finance committee reviewed several financial actions, including bills and claims amounting to over $4 million, travel expenses, and approvals for donations and contracts. A donation from Alexander Exteriors was acknowledged, providing materials and labor valued at $39,000 for school improvements.

Personnel matters were also addressed, with the committee noting retirements, resignations, and new employment listings. The board affirmed findings from recent bullying investigations and approved a variety of assignments and salary adjustments.
