At the forefront of the meeting, the board celebrated the Students of the Month for November and December. Students from various grades were recognized for their outstanding academic performance and positive contributions to the school community. These students were praised for their dedication, responsibility, and respectful behavior, with teachers highlighting their accomplishments and involvement in school activities.

In terms of infrastructure, the board discussed the replacement of univent systems in school buildings, a project delayed due to changes in refrigerant manufacturing requirements. The bid for this project is expected to be released by the second week of February. Additionally, the board is planning to move the school kitchen from the annex to the cafeteria, with scheduling discussions underway with the food service provider.

A personnel change was also noted, as a well-regarded district professional announced her retirement effective June 30. The board expressed best wishes for her future. Furthermore, two new hires were on the agenda, including a program role for the middle school and a third-grade replacement.

The meeting also included a report from the board secretary, detailing the recent audit exit briefing and financial updates. The district completed its financials on time through December 31, and preparations for various bid packages are in progress. The board remains proactive in its approach to managing both educational and operational aspects of the district, as evidenced by these discussions and plans.
