During a recent board meeting, Charles Martin, a former student of Douglas High School, proposed that the agriculture building be named in honor of Frank Adams, a beloved teacher who passed away on July 10th. Martin highlighted Adams' 22-year tenure as a dedicated agriculture teacher and expressed the desire of several former students to commemorate his contributions. The board acknowledged the request and indicated that the staff would review the policy regarding naming school facilities before proceeding.

In addition to the tribute to Adams, the board approved several personnel actions, including the hiring of certified and classified staff, as well as athletic coaches. The board also recognized new hires in security roles at the high school, welcoming Hector Ross and Claudio Silas to their positions.

The meeting included discussions on classified resignations and changes in staff hours, all of which were approved without significant debate. The board also addressed the approval of volunteers for various school programs, including agriculture and athletics, and acknowledged the importance of these contributions to the school community.

Furthermore, the board approved a series of donations to the Douglas Unified School District, including practice jerseys for the boys' basketball team and a saxophone for the marching band, demonstrating ongoing community support for local educational programs.

Overall, the meeting reflected a commitment to honoring past educators, supporting current staff, and fostering community involvement in the school district.
