Superintendent: enrollment dips 13 students; Piedmont readathon, turf and athletics highlighted
Summary
The superintendent reported a 13-student decrease between January and February, a successful Piedmont Intermediate readathon that logged 54,201 minutes and raised just over $5,000, and ongoing facility work including turf installation at Stone Ridge and completion at Northwood.
The superintendent reported that district enrollment fell by 13 students between January and February, and described several school highlights and facility updates including a readathon at Piedmont Intermediate and ongoing turf work.
"Its got January versus February. We're down about 13 kids," the superintendent said, summarizing the small month-to-month change and describing it as part of normal "ebb and flow" in enrollment.
The superintendent highlighted a Piedmont Intermediate readathon that logged a total of 54,201 student minutes and raised "a little over $5,000." The top reader, Umar Saidu, logged 2,500 minutes. The superintendent also reported that turf installation at Northwood is finished and that turf work at Stone Ridge had begun; he said Stone Ridge would likely take a couple more weeks to finish.
The superintendent noted a new bus driver, Mike Monroe, who received a thank-you card from a student after helping the student get closer to home on a rainy day. He also congratulated the high school academic team for placing third at state after going undefeated through the area tournament.
The superintendent framed the enrollment change as a brief pause in recent growth trends rather than a sustained decline, and his remarks concluded his report to the board.
