Dysart High School has made remarkable strides in reducing disciplinary referrals, with a significant drop from 944 last year to just 244 this year. This impressive turnaround is attributed to new programs focused on behavior tracking and early interventions, spearheaded by Mr. Byrne and the school resource officer. The board members praised the efforts, highlighting the importance of relationship building between staff and students as a key factor in this success.

In a related presentation, Kara Sar, principal of Luke Elementary, reported on the school’s Continuous Improvement Plan. Despite facing challenges in math proficiency, Luke Elementary maintained its "A" label for the third consecutive year, increasing its state score from 85.8 to 90.11 points. Sar emphasized the school’s strategic approach to addressing academic dips, including the introduction of a math coach and a departmentalized teaching structure to enhance focus on core subjects.

Both schools are committed to continuous growth, with goals set to improve proficiency rates across all subjects, particularly for English Language learners and students with special needs. The board expressed appreciation for the hard work and dedication of the staff, underscoring the positive impact these initiatives are having on student outcomes.
