Cody Elementary staff present site plan, attendance and behavior goals
Summary
Cody Elementary staff presented a site plan to the board highlighting attendance and behavior targets, including efforts to reduce chronic absenteeism and office referrals and to provide creative learning opportunities.
Cody Elementary staff — identified in the meeting as Miss Smiley, Miss Thomas and Miss Stott — presented the school’s site plan to the North Platte Public Schools Committee of the Whole on June 26. The presentation described school goals for attendance and behavior and outlined classroom- and staffing-based supports intended to improve student engagement.
Why it matters: site plans are building-level strategic documents used by the district and board to track school improvement targets and resource needs.
Presenters said one of the school’s top aims is to reduce the number of students with 20 or more absence days and to lower the number of defined office referrals (the school set a target to reduce defined referrals below a stated threshold). The presenters also emphasized creative instructional approaches and teacher-led experiential learning opportunities as central strengths of the school. Trustees complimented the staff on evident enthusiasm and said they welcomed follow-up results in the coming school year.
Board response: trustees praised the presentation’s data orientation and the building’s alignment with the district strategic plan. Several trustees — including one who said they were excited to see how the initiatives affect next year’s outcomes — urged staff to return with results after implementation.
Speakers: Miss Smiley, Miss Thomas, Miss Stott (presenters) and board members including Joanne, Justin Thompson and others. The board did not take formal action on the Cody Elementary site plan at this meeting.
