Patty Thomas said the association’s preparations began in March 2024 and included member surveys and comparative salary reviews. Thomas said the LNEA and district staff worked collaboratively through the process and that the proposal was well received by members: “We are proud to share that the agreement reflects a 97 consensus of language and a 98% on salary vote by our LNEA members.”

The speakers thanked district staff and officials by name, including Superintendent Dr. Tony Lake and central-office staff in human resources and finance, for “their dedication over the past year.” The LNEA representatives described the ratification numbers as evidence of broad membership support and said they look forward to continued collaboration with the district.

Cochran opened by honoring the school’s support staff person of the year and teacher of the year and then reviewed key academic and program data. He said the district offered the ACT to juniors on March 11, noting “we had about over 400 students sign up to take the ACT that we supported,” and reported a composite score of 22.1 for that cohort. Cochran also told the board that five students achieved perfect ACT scores on that testing day and that another student in the same class already held a prior perfect score: “We had 5 perfect scores, which I don't think we've ever had 5 perfect scores.”

The report reviewed Advanced Placement results from last year: more than 1,000 AP tests were taken districtwide and the pass rate was 85.9%. Cochran said the school plans to offer roughly 1,300 AP tests this May and that “628 students” are expected to take AP exams at Lindbergh High School.

Cochran described nonacademic programs and recognitions the board viewed as part of whole-child education. Lindbergh was named a National School of Character for the third consecutive application cycle and received a Unified Champion Schools designation from Special Olympics for meeting criteria on whole-school engagement, unified sports and inclusive youth leadership; Cochran said the Special Olympics event served more than 300 student athletes. He also highlighted new and expanding career- and technical-education offerings including an EMT course (about 18 students enrolled), a certified nursing assistant (CNA) program scheduled to start, and an AMT business-and-algebra course linking applied algebra to business applications.

Cochran cited other school-level accomplishments, including growing biliteracy seals (47 two years ago, 60 last year, 63 candidates this year) and a recently reported figure that 63% of graduates left with some “marketable asset” beyond a diploma. He listed several staff recognitions by name and program — for example, district teacher of the year Tim Toposki and nurse-led work that produced a Project ADAM Heart Safe School designation — and credited teachers and counselors for supporting students through expanded AP and personalized-learning participation.

Student representative R.J. Delisario followed with a report on student activities. Delisario said the Lindbergh Scholar Bowl won its district championship and will advance to the next round, that the student-run 36-hour music marathon raised about $8,083.02 for Alex's Lemonade Stand, and that Lindbergh Student Council earned a 2025 National Gold Council of Excellence designation. He also summarized recent student advisory meetings and said students requested more frequent summer communication (including optional Zoom meetings) and broader representation across schools and programs.

Board members asked questions about survey response counts and trends. Cochran said the student satisfaction survey had about 250 responses the prior year and had risen to roughly 350 at the time of the board meeting, and he described school efforts — including AVID strategy coaching and naming learning strategies explicitly for students — to raise scores on self-management and personalized-learning measures.

The presentation closed with Cochran reiterating that the school intends to expand work-based and career-ready course offerings and to track outcomes such as diploma-plus credentials.

Ending: The board received the report for information; no board action was recorded on the learning report during the meeting.","Lindbergh High School administrators updated the board on test scores, AP participation, new programs and student recognitions. The presentation highlighted a March ACT administration for juniors, an 85.9% AP pass rate last year, expansion of career programs and multiple staff and student awards.","actionData","errors"]
