Jody reported to the board that the district is meeting Division 22 standards, the state’s set of minimum expectations for public schools, and summarized recent additions the state has required. "Vision 22 is basically the standard the state sets, the minimum standard the state sets for all schools," Jody said.

Jody said the district is compliant with recent requirements including social-emotional learning curriculum, personal-finance and career-path content standards, and a substance use prevention and intervention plan. She said administrator evaluation standards that were paused during COVID remain in place and that the district’s human-resources staff reported long-standing evaluation practices.

On essential skills testing, Jody said some waivers remain in place for students expected to graduate in ’27 and ’28 and that essential‑skills assessments for English learners have been waived through the end of 2028, per the state guidance described in the report. Jody said the district previously submitted a plan when it lacked a certified librarian and later rehired a retired certified librarian to support library assistants.

Jody also described the newly formed education equity advisory committee. Under recent legislative changes, committees of this type are now committees to the superintendent rather than board-established committees. Jody said she invited staff, parents, students (middle and high school), and community members to participate; the group met for a kickoff meeting last week to define goals and next steps.

No formal board action was required on the Division 22 report; Jody said the district will continue to bring the state report and local summaries to the board each year.
