Consent agenda: The board voted to approve the consent agenda without discussion. No mover/second or vote tally for the consent agenda was specified in the meeting transcript.

Work‑session minutes: Board members debated the format of work‑session minutes and whether they should be concise (agenda, motions, timestamps and links) or include summary paragraphs. Board Member David moved to postpone action on the revised February work‑session minutes until the April 14 meeting; the motion was seconded by Lawrence and the board approved the postponement. The board directed staff to rewrite the minutes in the newly agreed format and return them for approval at the April meeting.

Football field lighting: The board considered three quotes to replace lights on the existing stadium poles. Facilities staff reported Houston Electric provided the lowest quote at $149,700; the district expects a rebate from Duke Energy to reduce net cost. Board Member Rachel moved to accept the Houston Electric proposal; Lawrence seconded. During discussion board members requested confirmation of warranty language (several quotes had differing warranty statements and one vendor’s quote used a prior expiration date but was represented as still valid). The board amended the motion to require an “industry‑standard warranty” be included; the amended motion passed. District staff said they will include the warranty details and the expected Duke Energy rebate in Friday notes to the board. The purchase was approved as a public purchase under the district threshold for formal construction contracting.

No explicit roll‑call tallies were recorded in the transcript for the votes; minutes show motions made, seconded and approved as described.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","WLCSC YouTube Live Stream","oneSentenceSummary","At the March meeting the board approved the consent agenda, voted to postpone work‑session minutes for reformatting to the April meeting, and approved a purchase of new football field lighting, selecting Houston Electric’s quote of $149,700 contingent on an industry‑standard warranty and subject to a Duke Energy rebate.","taxTitle","West Lafayette Com School Corp, School Boards, Indiana","taxId",76369,"location","Indiana","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6285720,"Willis principal: enrollment steady, preschool full, third‑grade reading goal set at 95%",563,722825,1286055,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2567074-de7bcd09cf9a923730ee9822bcaed46a&start=722&end=1286","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2567074-de7bcd09cf9a923730ee9822bcaed46a/thumbnail_722825.jpg","/articles/6285720/Indiana/Willis-principal-enrollment-steady-preschool-full-thirdgrade-reading-goal-set-at-95","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6285720-4b462ada0384ec5965ba1b8de43af09e/orig.mp4?Expires=1775615499&Signature=eIUfoRQ5CBgyIVzASSYfSxhGev9hs8rMQhYSkG~hD5WP8oY0XP6ICB8c89AeNHWYmApBw8ZQD2Qgp5MpYVGjIeYP07KeoGlOBDrRF9~jlFhDGRhLn3FG~ef9rH3E60PcrviCYktfrIzI5InrM0QkR6wXuj8qPKKmmkEbP0aQKCSNVOOSkEJ3j0S~5IBYs4aESvm3vn2WBLFQjSKVW6OsmWWzi9pGU608gEpaSPUGmhF4Q0WgXMiV0RJtzltWRIRzhuU50b80RglfnW3ySe8wVI7kPFPjHbX3YoDv1NV4ddXUw8E-5N0uu~3rgApQl1S4TONI~dHIln5IPgaxOwFV3Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Willis Elementary Principal Betty Delaney updated the board on enrollment, early‑learning capacity, assessment checkpoints, and plans to support students at risk of falling behind.

Delaney said enrollment has been relatively stable since the semester, and preschool is full at its 18‑child capacity. She reported 77 incoming kindergartners registered — higher than the usual range of 50–55 at this point last year — after the school held a kindergarten roundup on March 4 attended by more than 50 families.

Delaney described a new Purdue University full‑year student teacher program that places student teachers in classrooms full time in the spring after an earlier part‑week placement in fall; she said the district’s connection with Purdue has been “amazing.” The school also received professional development through WVEC and other partners.

On assessments, Delaney reviewed iRead and iLearn checkpoint activity. She said about 70 third graders still needed to take the iRead assessment because they were not in Indiana or did not take the test previously; the school’s goal is 95% of third graders passing by the end of the 2025–26 school year. Delaney said 75 second graders already passed the benchmark and that students identified as “at risk” will be invited to a nine‑day summer program after school ends.

She outlined a writing curriculum alignment process led by third‑grade teachers who backward‑mapped the iLearn writing rubric into kindergarten through third grade, and said benchmark writing assessments are giving teachers a baseline for instruction.

On standardized testing time, Delaney acknowledged concerns about instruction time lost to tests and said the district had weighed opt‑in checkpoint assessments against other benchmark tools; the district removed the NWEA benchmark this year to reduce duplicated testing and hopes future checkpoint reports will be more immediately actionable for teachers.

Delaney closed by thanking the board and community for outreach and by noting ongoing efforts to connect with apartment managers and families to boost enrollment and communication.","Willis Elementary Principal Delaney reported steady enrollment, a full preschool class of 18, 77 registered incoming kindergartners, new Purdue full‑year student teachers and school plans to reach a 95% third‑grade iRead pass rate by 2025–26.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6285724,"District updates family‑engagement work as committees compare ratings and prepare applications",500,399,500955,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2567074-de7bcd09cf9a923730ee9822bcaed46a&start=0&end=500","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2567074-de7bcd09cf9a923730ee9822bcaed46a/thumbnail_399.jpg","/articles/6285724/Indiana/District-updates-familyengagement-work-as-committees-compare-ratings-and-prepare-applications","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6285724-432b9b95a400e6a929d1ee1d106c7e20/orig.mp4?Expires=1775615499&Signature=aW5m95FZa77rwxFpu8FL~dTIVX-wKWJGmzwvhHt-9HQ-cpud75xycjJJhJJXKMFDefDGubYM2TO4Ra8yEwHGaxLA7An8o6nhTEcaUz5HqntdDaiAD424YKaomz56B~3Hia9ggBezsDOnajxK2J9uNIjKpVyFI5BOyugKY8QDjgbmydF2zDlO09iRRBiQGsiNWmZSQVZM5nZEXMKolVT0IH1UVxeOOQV~o9n5Uzj6eaCUjq4n~5FMrFCJIQIgdsSIIo4ChXh4imIYp8yxz1CabAaTHReYZyAYAamB0IqEf7IT1rmk3HP9j~p6UyWgzXXitsCkYgkebZXH61FtSlIk7A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","A district family‑engagement staff member reported progress on the Family Friendly Schools designation and described classroom work and community events that staff say are intended to increase family involvement and cultural inclusion.

The presenter said building committees have been self‑rating six Family Friendly Schools standards — welcoming families, effective communication, supporting student success, advocating for every child, sharing power, and community collaboration — and that committees will meet in April to compare those ratings with results from surveys completed by staff, students and parents.

The speaker said West Lafayette will submit initial Family Friendly Schools applications for all three district schools in April or May and highlighted a West Lafayette Intermediate School cultural night that drew more than 250 attendees and volunteers representing 11 cultures and heritages.

The presenter said she has conducted classroom lessons across kindergarten through seventh grade and listed goals for 2025–26, including maintaining the Family Friendly Schools designation, reviewing district procedures related to McKinney‑Vento, and using data from the designation process and the PASA/PASA‑style surveys to improve districtwide communications.

During board and public questions, one audience member asked whether the district has families facing homelessness; the presenter answered that in her experience every district has students facing housing instability and that the district will review McKinney‑Vento procedures in coordination with central office to determine any necessary policy or procedural updates. The presenter said she would work with central office to review board policy cited in questioning as “1, 500111Dot01” and associated recordkeeping and notification steps.

Commenters asked whether the building committees included representative staff from many grade levels and whether committee members were working outside of contracted hours; the presenter said the committees include a diverse set of staff (including kindergarten, first, second and special education at elementary, and multiple departments at the high school) and that committee members were participating outside contract hours.

Speakers in public comment also raised the status of House Bill 1002, which at the time of the meeting had passed the House and was in the state Senate; the presenter said the district is monitoring that bill and will continue to use information gathered from the Family Friendly Schools process even if state funding or requirements change.

The presenter closed by restating contact information and the district’s intent to apply local data to district goals and communications work.","District staff reported progress on the Family Friendly Schools designation, a cultural night attended by 250 people, and plans to submit initial applications for three schools in April or May; the district will review McKinney‑Vento procedures and use survey data to refine communication strategies.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6285729,"Consultant: Nearly 2,000 stakeholders responded; plan to draft goals in April",1123,2043024,3166890,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2567074-de7bcd09cf9a923730ee9822bcaed46a&start=2043&end=3166","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2567074-de7bcd09cf9a923730ee9822bcaed46a/thumbnail_2043024.jpg","/articles/6285729/Indiana/Consultant-Nearly-2000-stakeholders-responded-plan-to-draft-goals-in-April","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6285729-5f71f4d883d1498ede72097a87c807f5/orig.mp4?Expires=1775615499&Signature=iGClY-vuFOTjFMNemrDfIHz3opyLynVCp3Lsc6f0JhmyTxHiJBnO7A4bLd6m587lfSDp~1D~Wt0a3-mwXAaIKLahYoSfL764D~VyOmB0b83zxhFb3UqpMJqjmEIiiDON9rpTM6NdFQmNz1v1KE7u5HWaOsysup5do~XYDxs4OnzxkAudR4W8L-W-dcZ3GaP8iKvIfI905r-AuYmaurd43MeRn~mLurN6NT6jEDJrCeHiZ-qWqcnTsS1~AFn1utxXkC7UFHOmCZuhnGggMUr~HNccnxf20X3mwUMwDaRLO751fFmPKYfgJw8nIQ-2~zoETZcJsAkRvTddr6f8Zmprfw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Adam Jones, the Skybound Education consultant working with the West Lafayette Community School Corporation, told the school board that nearly 2,000 stakeholders completed an engagement survey and that his team has distilled five themes to guide the district’s draft strategic plan.

Jones said the district’s engagement reached students, staff, parents and community members and that the data give leaders a baseline for drafting specific goals and measures. He said a full-day collaborative drafting session for teachers and community members is scheduled for April 10 and that a public feedback period will run in early to mid‑May before a draft is returned to the board in June.

Jones called the response “a really healthy, robust engagement,” and provided a breakdown he described during the presentation: roughly 95 staff responses, about 240 parent/family responses and 102 community stakeholders among the nearly 2,000 total responses. He said the consultant team also ran focus groups, visited buildings, and held community sessions to supplement the survey data.

The consultant introduced net promoter score (NPS) analysis to summarize sentiment. He reported a staff NPS of 47 (61% promoters, 14% detractors), which he characterized as “quite good” compared with state benchmarks. Jones pointed out the high school’s NPS (33) was lower than other groups and flagged it as an area for follow-up.

From surveys and focus groups Skybound identified five themes: sustaining academic excellence while serving a changing student population; improving differentiated supports for special education and multilingual learners; expanding family engagement and consistent districtwide communication platforms; addressing student mental health and balancing academic workload; and supporting staff to prevent initiative fatigue and burnout.

Board members asked for additional detail on timing and demographics. Jones said the survey had been administered in October and that the team can break results down by subgroup if the district wants that analysis. He said the consultant team will bring proposed language to the April 10 workshop and then compile drafts for public review ahead of the June board meeting.

The district will receive a two‑version deliverable: a 4–6 page plan that lists objectives and measures plus a one‑page public summary intended for front‑desk distribution at schools.

The board discussed next steps, including scheduling a follow‑up work session April 14 to review community feedback and proposing a separate board working meeting after public comment to allow board members time to discuss the plan internally.

Jones said he will provide raw data and analysis to the district via the district’s Google domain; board members asked that those materials be included in the district’s Friday notes in advance of upcoming meetings.","Skybound Education reported nearly 2,000 survey responses and five themes from stakeholder input; consultant will lead draft workshops April 10 and seek public feedback in May before a June 9 review by the board.","actionData","errors"]
