A board member used the work session to urge reconsideration of the district’s assignment policy, again asking the board to restore priority preregistration for incoming first‑grade students and siblings of current students.

Why it matters: the board member said the proposal would give in‑town families and siblings “first crack” at available first‑grade seats and that constituents had complained about the current process. Another board member said they disagreed with restoring the priority but acknowledged the topic was already debated during the prior vote and may be moot for the coming year.

Discussion centered on whether the policy change would be implemented and on constituent concerns; no vote or formal referral was recorded during the work session. The item is expected to appear again for board consideration as part of routine policy review.
