Dr. Wilson, the district’s pupil services lead, reported to the board that the district-wide student, staff and family survey was closing the following day and that more than 70% of students in grades 3–12 had completed it — “approximately 1,700” students, he said.

Dr. Wilson described ongoing restorative-practices professional development: 35 educators completed the first of a three-part “team of champions” training intended to create school-based leaders who will help implement restorative practices and support student peer mediation teams. He said the current training iteration is in-person and includes a student component that was not part of prior sessions.

On student mental health, Dr. Wilson said the district is partnering with the Lincoln Center and the Chester Coalition to run student listening groups at Chester High, STEM and other buildings to gather input on stress and anxiety and to shape supports. “Some great conversations … students expressing concerns around stress and anxiety,” he said.

Dr. Wilson also said the district has begun annual health screenings — including BMI, vision and dental checks — and is working with partners and the Delaware County Health Department to schedule immunization clinics after Crozer’s closure. He said community partners, such as Chestfriend, are among groups exploring expanded support to fill gaps but that some government regulatory procedures remain to be completed.

Board members asked whether restorative-practices work included middle and high schools; Dr. Wilson said it currently covers middle and high schools and that staff will evaluate results to consider next-year expansion. He also said communications and student-created videos are planned so students willing to share their experiences can do so publicly.

Ending: Dr. Wilson told the board he would provide more detailed outcomes from the survey and restorative-practices rollout at a November meeting; no formal board action on these items was recorded in the transcript.
