The update listed completed and in-progress work across multiple schools. The presentation said Yonder lockers had been installed at Hill House, Career, MBA, co-op and HSC; the next installations were underway at ESIMs, Sound School and Wilbur Cross with an estimated completion date of Aug. 15. Hot water heater replacements were completed at East Rock, Davis and FAME and were pending completion at Fairhaven. Library carpeting at Sound School and Ross Woodward was reported as complete; a Troup/Troop library installation had an estimated completion date of Aug. 19. The Ross Woodward fire alarm control panel upgrade was complete; the Cooperative Arts School had received cooling-tower bids with an estimated completion in fall 2025. The presentation also reported that solar canopy projects at Hill Central and Beecher were \"estimate completion is $8.22, which seems to be on course.\" The district reported nine schools composting and 20 schools recycling.

Facilities staff listed 11 schools with inadequate or no air conditioning and said Turcom Mechanical technicians were on site daily: Adult Ed, Lincoln Bassett, Beecher, Betsy Ross, Celentano, Wilbur Cross, John Daniels, Doctor Mayo, King Robinson, Ross Woodward and Truman. Temporary chillers were installed at John Daniels and Betsy Ross, and weekly or daily coordination meetings with contractors were reported. Custodial readiness for fall cleaning was reported at 77 percent district-wide, with grounds work and grass cutting scheduled to be completed by Aug. 27. School-based health clinic suites were reported 100 percent complete at Davis, Ross Woodward, Truman and Wilbur Cross.

Earlier in the meeting the board's Finance & Operations chair moved to table agreement 5.04 and contracts 7.01 and 7.02 so the committee could obtain additional information; that motion was seconded and approved. After the facilities presentation, board member Miss Downer questioned who was cutting district grass this summer. Facilities staff said three vendors were on call and named two: \"Amazon, Cheapscapes, and one other name that escapes me,\" and said the grounds manager oversees vendor assignment. Miss Downer said she was concerned because the Finance & Operations committee had voted to table Cheapskates and asked for clarification about whether Cheapskates had been on district property. Facilities staff said they would check and email the board with exact details.

Board member Mister Wilcox asked the district to report to Finance & Operations or to the full board on power generation and cost savings for the solar canopies as they come online and to confirm any grass-cutting activity this summer. Superintendent Negron said staff would email the requested details to the entire board.

Action: the board tabled agreement 5.04 and contracts 7.01 and 7.02; staff will provide follow-up information requested by Finance & Operations and by individual board members and will return the items when the committee has the information.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","New Haven Board of Education Regular Board Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","Superintendent Madeline Negron presented a facilities operations update at the Aug. 11 Board of Education meeting, reporting progress on hot water heaters, door-lock installations, flooring, HVAC, pools, solar canopies, custodial readiness and recycling.","taxTitle","Grandview School District, School Districts, Washington","taxId",55570,"location","Washington","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},6138771,"Board of Education approves artificial intelligence policy for district use",405,629000,1034000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5582451-9bfbc7c2f248c1985e4c70d97ead40ec&start=629&end=1034","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5582451-9bfbc7c2f248c1985e4c70d97ead40ec/thumbnail_629000.jpg","/articles/6138771/Washington/Board-of-Education-approves-artificial-intelligence-policy-for-district-use","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6138771-780bb6e658e2654dea0c1ad4d153dbcc/orig.mp4?Expires=1774921211&Signature=kInI7IksNfZ5fFyKV48ItGaqURNxjA5rJ9SN2ydAXgL9hPmu6ieMlUrDyVPYEoPmXo6Xtfi1HcwS-j6O~tUos91KH-21SUgzBVndNJaoa2PxP-8bzU4yc9mUGf9h-SpTsTRMd-1coTSoVVKWDVmhfz7oj3J97239nBTEIeHqtVvNs06PhWL4YlY0gq1Xt3n1n-heXpARo5TtpP2ZWCge-rBGPKFle6GjIqrBSARXNY4YOKGH32Qwiiki3v6-xkzLEb0XoSThlwDmDf9qfd~MJOuqZCdbeLSsQJ2VUbL0nKLsRpCTGJZoyJ9ulIsEXl35HmsKlfhceuWFMGqeEZWhjQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Board of Education on Aug. 11, 2025, approved a policy governing the use of artificial intelligence in district schools, following board discussion about oversight and staff training.

The policy, submitted by Board member Doctor Benitez and presented at the Aug. 11 regular meeting, was moved for approval by Doctor Benitez and seconded. After discussion the board voted and the motion carried.

Board members said the policy is intended to let teachers and students use AI tools while preventing misuse and supporting understanding. Doctor Joyner, a board member, said the district should consider school-level monitoring and professional development: \"My only concern is whether we can create some type of structure in each school that would kinda monitor the use of of it and whether or not we can create some staff development around ethical use of artificial intelligence.\" The Assistant Superintendent for Academics (unnamed in the transcript) told the board that staff developing the policy were also developing training and guidance for teachers and students: \"The staff as they were developing this policy, we're also developing, steps to follow in terms of training, in terms of making sure that students are, are not copying things without really understanding what they're doing.\"

Speakers emphasized preparing students now because higher education and employers will expect AI literacy. The assistant superintendent was reported to have attended Google training this summer; Doctor Benitez noted staff commitment to supporting teachers: \"As you know, our assistant superintendent for academics has been very, very engaged with this, and she was in training at Google this summer and has made a commitment to make sure that this is done well and that students learn how to use these tools because we know universities are gonna expect them.\"

The board did not adopt additional, board-level requirements at the meeting. Doctor Joyner asked that the district consider forming school-level oversight and return to the board for a review at the end of the next school year to assess how the policy is working. The motion passed on a voice roll call with members voting yes and the president stating the motion carried.

The policy's approval directs staff to implement the guidance and provide training; board members requested follow-up reporting on training and on how the policy is being applied in classrooms.

Board action: the policy was approved; no amendments were recorded at the meeting. Staff said they will develop and present detailed guidance and training materials to support implementation.","The Board of Education approved a district policy governing use of artificial intelligence in instruction and staff work, after members discussed school-level oversight and staff training plans.",{"_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},6138756,"Board acknowledges retirement of Barbara Puglisi after 28 years",163,1043000,1206000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5582451-9bfbc7c2f248c1985e4c70d97ead40ec&start=1043&end=1206","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5582451-9bfbc7c2f248c1985e4c70d97ead40ec/thumbnail_1043000.jpg","/articles/6138756/Washington/Board-acknowledges-retirement-of-Barbara-Puglisi-after-28-years","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6138756-6f1425ef8c75afb0bfe99689c0fc41c0/orig.mp4?Expires=1774921211&Signature=XqGdoBZt8CstQQ5xc7uw5XZF5rBs7ReRBrb5ze7y7vd5HJcK-bh~S0sEMYSITXzqu4lcBMXLP2FzySySuJLZY4SDKavVJi97EZHoFktoGvpHojO~EZa-D3Ghj-IAvD7IXRMxErYV7SAhPxc0u7ZjBqF8NQLR9AEe6bSFuGj--qZyJ5ezaQo2Bpx9r96iip2dF57gTSKqaIGElN4t1tJL976WB2v8KhTOHZO2lH0mESOYtfebPjTqYDZwB16SV27pAOMc0g4uqwU2yZfhHbFNsfewdp8vqdtf1WSTVwt7KGRavcBBVyD34k4zJ08SZxSpjkDiNuc9huUiyVFGWxEgNw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Board of Education on Aug. 11 acknowledged the retirement of Barbara Puglisi, an English teacher who retired in July after 28 years with the district, and approved the personnel report.

So I wanted to make sure that that was highlighted tonight.\" The personnel report was then moved for approval and adopted.

Board member Mister Wilcox recalled Puglisi's impact at Riverside High School, saying he had seen student speakers at a graduation name her as a major influence: \"I would be remiss if I didn't mention it's, Puglisi there, hugs at, Riverside, tremendous educator, when I was at the Riverside graduation. And, both of the student speakers specifically called her out as 1 of the most important people for them in their lives there.\" Doctor Joyner praised Puglisi's compassion and service in a challenging school environment.
