District curriculum and school leaders updated the board on fall plans including committee charges, curriculum adoption work and expanded staff collaboration time.

Curriculum committee chairs said they confirmed committee charges and prioritized essential standards work. Theresa (curriculum lead) reported that visual and performing arts, math and health/PE priority standards were finalized last year; the next work will focus on ELA and science standards and possibly computer science. Staff are preparing a public facing “Atlas” to show essential standards; Theresa said the goal is to publish the atlas for public view by November.

Principals described a new schedule of early‑release Wednesdays that creates structured time for collaborative planning, small‑group interventions and teaching cooperatives. TPS principal Kristen Conley said the district used Wednesday time this week for suicide awareness and child‑abuse prevention training for support staff and described plans to use additional Wednesdays for collaborative planning and data protocols.

The board noted a community donation and grant awarded to Green Central School: a $2,499 Kids Heart Challenge/American Heart Association spring grant to buy PE equipment (noted to include pickleball equipment). Principal Parker told the board Derek Jordan, the Green Central PE teacher, has run the Kids Heart Challenge for about 15 years and that his fundraising efforts total, “darn close to $91,000” over that period.

Committee schedules and next meeting dates were noted; staff will continue curriculum refinement and report milestones to the board.
