Resident questions district academic results, urges new funding priorities
Summary
Paul Wegeman addressed the board during public comment to say he is disappointed with the district's academic achievement trends and urged the board to consider funding changes and new programs to improve outcomes.
Paul Wegeman, a resident and frequent public commenter, told the Clover Park School District board on Feb. 10 that he is disappointed in the district's academic achievement and urged the board to consider different funding choices and programs.
"As you start preparing the budget for this next year, academic achievement still hasn't improved within this district," Wegeman said during public comment. He described the district's academic trend as a "flat line" and asked whether the board is satisfied with current achievement and what funding changes the district plans to make.
Wegeman asked whether the district had cut programs that were previously used and whether any new programs will be added to reverse the trend. He cited class size data from the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction and questioned whether smaller classes might help. He said he had received a written response to earlier comments but indicated he would continue to monitor the district's budget and returns to future meetings.
The transcript does not record a staff response to Wegeman's questions during the public comment period.
