Superintendent updates board on climate survey, spring events and bond-phase work
Summary
Superintendent Dr. Codd summarized ongoing district activities including a climate and culture survey, special‑education games at West Valley College, music events, literacy activities, the Moreland Education Foundation 5K and ongoing stakeholder work on bond phases 2 and 3.
Superintendent Dr. Codd told trustees the district’s annual climate and culture survey was underway and will close in late April; the survey covers parents, staff and students in grades 4–8 and uses the same, nationally normed questions as last year so staff can compare year‑to‑year results.
Dr. Codd also reported several spring activities: the Kiwanis Special Games at West Valley College for students in SDC classrooms; music showcases and the district’s music-in-the-parks event; Baker literacy day (where board members participated in classroom readings); and the Moreland Education Foundation (MEF) 5K, which drew more than 300 community participants. The superintendent said the 5K’s goal was community building and thanked MEF and volunteers.
On facilities planning, Dr. Codd said the district’s facilities committee — which includes trustees, staff and the bond construction team — has reviewed stakeholder input for phases 2 and 3 of the bond program (projects tied to tracks, fields and playgrounds). The superintendent said staff will present the committee’s work to the full board at a May work-study session to solicit further direction on the next phases of projects. (The meeting transcript contained an unclear reference to an exact May date; staff are expected to circulate the finalized meeting notice and materials.)
He also reminded trustees about open houses in May, a People of the Year celebration in mid‑May, and local media coverage for Latimer students that was recorded earlier in the week for a morning show segment.
Why it matters: The items update trustees and the public on district climate measures, student activities, community engagement and the planning process for capital projects funded through the bond program.
District staff said they will share the climate-survey results when available and will circulate materials ahead of the board work-study session on bond phases.
