Why it matters: The long-range plan is intended to guide facility investments and will serve as the foundational document for a possible bond initiative next year that district officials described as a “non tax increase” measure tied to the plan.

Support-services staff said the district is finalizing the survey presentation and questions, correcting typos and rearranging slides. Residents will be able to view a presentation and respond to the survey; the district will also provide space in the survey for open-ended input. Once compiled, staff will schedule public meetings to review results and potential facility priorities.

Staff also provided an update on specific projects: the CTC welding lab expansion is nearing completion, with a first walkthrough punch list addressed last week and plumbing and equipment items being finalized. Adult classes are expected to begin in the new welding lab this summer, and the space will open for secondary students next fall.

Support-services staff reminded the public to watch for school buses and to stop for bus arms and flashing lights; they said the community continues to report vehicles illegally passing stopped buses.

Next steps: The district will send the survey link to the public, compile responses, schedule public review meetings and present a proposed long-range plan for board adoption, currently targeted for the June board meeting.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Cape Girardeau Public Schools #63 - School Board Meeting - January 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Support services staff said the district will release a community-facing survey about long-range facilities work this week or next; the survey will feed public meetings and a long-range plan the board may adopt in June that would underpin a possible no-tax-increase bond initiative next year.","taxTitle","CAPE GIRARDEAU 63, School Districts, Missouri","taxId",56475,"location","Missouri","headline","shortSummary",{"_32":75,"_34":35,"_36":37,"_38":76,"_40":77,"_42":78,"_44":79,"_46":80,"_48":81,"_50":82,"_52":83,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":84,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":85,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":71,"_72":55,"_73":55},6108100,"Board reviews CSIP updates: curriculum alignment, benchmarks and behavior reporting",422,1507410,1930260,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2771937-dd489350ff5b8dffc78c5f65fccbbde8&start=1507&end=1930","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2771937-dd489350ff5b8dffc78c5f65fccbbde8/thumbnail_1507410.jpg","/articles/6108100/Missouri/Board-reviews-CSIP-updates-curriculum-alignment-benchmarks-and-behavior-reporting","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6108100-ef77f06c35acdb08f9bb9f5145d500c1/orig.mp4?Expires=1769910349&Signature=XlA2hlXCoWfVfZB1ZXGeStORGAYnxp6ILuijy94UnsVmXHw70W8ePJzgeEM1ujCC3D8MzdiXJU17dEiF7a2kp12XKPFJY142fdAp5PzaMCgDOzfKfvTsaZ15rgZ1558YZwzXEoTC1NMAKadOXOyhrdF6YVxkCU8TbgUF0Xo-m2uFeQRNguPYPR19NyvEyl1RoHm6CNIk-XXQC9mmW4fyjSosuT0S2vJgHv9c5E-Cjfj3Z~Pg1Fcl9c83QqUkE-lObp3psasC8EOib39ukqYzgo5pVXzylYQaYAxrrKa9cM4I8e7225NpXf-I1yDFGyW3v3xhNYG67l9JXqL7Hix2ew__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Cape Girardeau Board of Education received a multi-part update March 24 on the district’s Continuous School Improvement Plan (CSIP), covering curriculum alignment, benchmark testing, professional development and behavior-data reporting.

Why it matters: CSIP is the district’s central framework for aligning instruction, assessments and building operations. Board members heard where the district has completed work and where staff still expects more progress, including a literacy plan that depends on state guidance.

Jamie Russell briefed the board on CSIP action steps, saying district teams have completed alignment for three of four core subjects and will begin science next school year. “We have gone through 3 out of the 4 core subjects,” Russell said; he assigned a 75% completion score to that action step. Russell also described work to link state and local assessment data to identify low-performing areas and to create professional-development processes that use data to guide training.

Dr. Beck summarized CSIP Lead 3, which focuses on aligning building operations across K–12. He said the district is standardizing behavior intervention strategies, curriculum-adoption procedures and the Galileo benchmark process. Beck said the board packet includes building-level counts and percentages for discipline referrals districtwide, but it does not include types of incidents or resolutions to protect student privacy.

On literacy, staff said they are continuing district planning but are awaiting a state-level literacy plan; the superintendent noted the district has waited three years for state guidance and is moving forward with its own materials and intervention pieces in the meantime.

A board member asked whether the discipline breakdowns include demographic disaggregation. Administrators replied the report shows discipline by building only; demographic breakdowns are available to the board and in state DESE reports but would require removal of identifying student data to publish publicly.

Next steps: Staff will continue curriculum work, expand classroom walkthrough instruments, and refine district reporting through Infinite Campus. The academic services plan and CSIP artifacts are linked in the board packet for review.","District staff updated the board on the Continuous School Improvement Plan (CSIP), reporting progress on curriculum alignment across core subjects, benchmark assessment alignment with Galileo, and standardized discipline reporting through Infinite Campus; literacy-plan action awaits the state.",{"_32":87,"_34":35,"_36":37,"_38":88,"_40":89,"_42":90,"_44":91,"_46":92,"_48":93,"_50":94,"_52":95,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":96,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":97,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":71,"_72":55,"_73":55},6108105,"Board highlights classroom phone policy after staff report on Yonder program; lawmakers advancing statewide rules",1337,2186319,3524214,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2771937-dd489350ff5b8dffc78c5f65fccbbde8&start=2186&end=3524","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2771937-dd489350ff5b8dffc78c5f65fccbbde8/thumbnail_2186319.jpg","/articles/6108105/Missouri/Board-highlights-classroom-phone-policy-after-staff-report-on-Yonder-program-lawmakers-advancing-statewide-rules","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6108105-89a188b124e6b593aa0096a06b190682/orig.mp4?Expires=1769910349&Signature=DuQKEQr-tW4lu1~W6oUbLgR2mAR5cPa90nDkZckkmHUSHt3aPVfFk1sqFzWV~sFkVXxUsi2yAgnZuAvxi75dNzA7HC8Ag-3GAwR6Lk825m84~Xj~k8n0GE6m8mGDMcifDs00Hw1WzJSPOMvTYWLUgI-VXYMy8lO9iiJrSTH-huxd1~VhhqrG3PbjvfkkRrHi5qpJ7YGYpwzL5sdk9WDtBkq6i2XcO4UDrXiSSMoZ8boOOtswr8LaxqFIBZaTjOmyv1rM1H7Gz-hMFmW-Gmc1D9xmc-CbCToEoYdXploAYasRux8NcgCln8T8oC~4HOfN9mMubkKulf9iUQMV~9mLWg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Cape Girardeau Board of Education heard staff survey results March 24 showing strong teacher support for the district’s phone-management program, and board members and administrators told the meeting they have advocated at the state Capitol for legislation that would require restrictions on student device use.

Why it matters: District officials said the program reduced classroom distractions, eased enforcement burdens on teachers and contributed to fewer recordable incidents at the high school. Board members said state-level action — S.B. 68 — would codify similar restrictions across Missouri.

Dr. Beck presented staff survey results evaluating the Yonder program at the junior high and high school. He said the majority of certified teachers who responded rated the program positively, with an average “agree” or “strongly agree” response on impact questions at roughly 90% or higher, and that about 40–45% of the certified staff in those buildings completed the survey. “The majority of every question asked about the impact of Yonder scored at about 90% or above on average,” Beck said.

Administrators told the board that after Yonder’s implementation the district saw reductions in freshman retention and a drop in fights at the high school, and that incidents which previously generated social-media recordings have become less frequent because students no longer record events on personal devices.

In the legislative report, board members said S.B. 68 — language described at the meeting as requiring districts to implement policies restricting use of personal electronic devices during school hours, banning device use across the school day and specifying disciplinary measures with limited exemptions — has passed the Missouri Senate and is now pending in the House. Board members also noted H.B. 711, an open-enrollment bill, has passed the House and awaits Senate committee assignment.

Board members and administrators encouraged community members and parents to contact state legislators. Superintendent Dr. Binion and board delegates said they had met with state lawmakers during an advocacy day in Jefferson City, and the board urged constituents to raise concerns or support for the bills with their representatives.

Next steps: District officials said they will continue to monitor legislative developments and report back; administrators offered to provide full, anonymous survey responses to the board on request.","Board members heard staff survey results on the district's Yonder phone-management program and discussed recent testimony at the Capitol.

The tuition for nine-month secondary technical programs will rise from $2,700 to $2,750 for the 2025–26 school year, with a planned multi-year schedule intended to reach a possible $3,000 total tuition over three years, board discussion showed.

Why it matters: District and CTC leaders told the board the center has not raised tuition in five years while operating costs, materials and supplies have increased. Officials also said the district currently subsidizes the center’s operation and needs to recoup a portion of those costs to sustain program offerings.

Dr. Crowley, speaking during consent-agenda discussion, said the increase is “necessary given the fact that... the continuing increased costs of training students, and what it costs to run the Career Technology Center.” He outlined a phased approach so the increase is not a single large jump.

CTC administrators said the center currently requires ongoing district support and estimated that maintaining current levels of service costs the district roughly $500,000 annually for secondary operations. They said the phased plan is intended to reduce that subsidy pressure while keeping tuition affordable for sending districts and students.

The board approved the consent agenda by voice vote. The meeting record shows the consent agenda included minutes, payment of bills and the CTC tuition rates for 2025–26; the formal motion and second were recorded but individual roll-call tallies were not specified in the public discussion.

Looking ahead: Administrators said they will notify sending schools and continue to evaluate the CTC budget and tuition schedule as implementation proceeds. The board packet indicates the administration will contact local districts and provide additional details to partners.","The Cape Girardeau Board of Education approved a consent agenda that included a phased increase in Career Technology Center (CTC) tuition, moving the 2025–26 rate from $2,700 to $2,750 with planned annual increases over three years toward $3,000.","actionData","errors"]
