Summary

Superintendent Paige outlined district initiatives including a new student advisory council, T‑Mobile hotspot partnership for eligible families, facility updates (tennis courts, AHS weight room), a student‑built welding sculpture to be installed at Mill Pond, and reminded the public of a two‑question referendum on Nov. 4 (roughly $54.7 million for facilities and a separate pool renovation question).

Superintendent Paige used the Oct. 13 meeting to summarize district achievements and to press the importance of the Nov. 4 referendum.

She thanked community partners and recognized recent student honors, including 31 students inducted into the National Honor Society.
