A comprehensive disability awareness clinic was a focal point of the meeting, aiming to educate fourth-grade students about various disabilities, including vision and hearing impairments, autism, and physical and intellectual disabilities. The program, spearheaded by special education teacher Emily Meyer and supported by community members, featured interactive stations where students experienced simulations of these challenges. The hands-on experience is designed to foster understanding and acceptance of differences among peers.

The board also discussed the introduction of concurrent enrollment courses in collaboration with Riverland Community College. These courses, including a college food product development class, will be taught using Riverland’s syllabus and materials, providing students with an opportunity to earn college credit. Another course being considered is a medical terminology hybrid class, which would blend online and in-person learning, preparing students for future online college coursework. The aim is to articulate these courses to ensure students can receive credit directly from RCTC.

Fundraising activities were also highlighted, with the Jump Rope for Heart Challenge raising $7,681.98. Additionally, Cameron’s Carnival is set to raise funds for a memorial, featuring games, activities, and concessions.

Furthermore, the meeting covered various student council activities, such as the successful snow week events and the upcoming prom safety initiative, which will focus on educating students about the dangers of alcohol and other substances.
