District administrators highlight audits, hiring, fall activities and community events
Summary
Administrators updated the board on recent operational items: completion of the annual audit, last‑minute hiring, upcoming staff orientation and school photo days, fall sports schedules, community open houses and fundraising events, and PTO leadership changes.
The district administrators’ report covered several back‑to‑school operational items and community events. An administrator thanked the business office staff, particularly Carrie Roberts, for preparing and hosting the district’s three‑day annual audit and noted that the audit firm has been a long‑time partner. The administrator also recognized Kelsey Palmer, a family and consumer sciences teacher, for leading a meal‑preparation activity at an administrative kickoff and praised building leadership teams for their school improvement planning.
Administrators reported work on last‑minute hiring and interviews, announced fall sports (tennis, golf, football, volleyball, swimming, boys soccer, cross country) with the first away football game set for the coming Friday and the first home game the following week, and encouraged board members to attend staff welcome events and district photo days. Nelson’s hosted an open house and ice cream social, and the Lions held their annual Stuff the Bus school supply drive.
Superintendent and administrators also noted calendar items: Women’s Equality Day (Aug. 26), Attendance Awareness Month (September), Suicide Prevention Month (September; resources noted: call or text 988), Labor Day school closure, staggered start dates for different grade bands, and Hispanic Heritage Month (Sept. 15–Oct. 15). They offered recognition to outgoing PTO president Samantha Zaylinga and thanked volunteers and community partners for events such as Bands on the Boardwalk.
No formal action was required on these informational items; administrators encouraged continued community engagement and thanked staff and volunteers for their work preparing for the school year.
