Student representative reports grievance resolutions, Parent University visit and upcoming STEM Halloween event
Summary
Student representative described grievance mediation results, Parent University participation and a planned 'haunted hallway' at STEM Academy on Oct. 30; said 27 grievances were discussed, 8 resolved and 18 remain active or in arbitration.
At the Oct. 23 Chester‑Upland receivers meeting the student representative reported on senior activities, grievance mediation and upcoming school events.
“Myrto,” the student representative, told the meeting that STEM seniors had a “senior sunrise” and a jean‑painting activity supported by parents and staff. She also said the district’s grievance mediation work showed progress: “We actually had a grievance mediation meeting. We were up to, 27 grievances. We're able to resolve 8 of those. We have 18 that we're actively working to resolve.”
Nut graf: the student rep’s report combined student life updates with operational matters affecting staff and students; the grievance figures show ongoing labor or personnel disputes that school leaders said are in various stages, including arbitration.
The student representative also described community engagement work, including a Parent University session on Oct. 1 and a STEM Academy “haunted hallway” trick‑or‑treat style event planned for Oct. 30. She said upper‑class students would assist for community‑service hours and that the event was intended to be “fun and safe” for younger students.
The student rep said flyers had been distributed districtwide and that organizers expected the event to run about 5 to 7 p.m., subject to final confirmation.
The remarks were given during the board’s student‑representative presentation; no formal board action was recorded on the grievances or the events beyond the informational update.
