The board used part of the work session for member committee updates. Gail (S5) reported the STC policy committee is converting policy codes from the NEPN system to a numeric system and working through whether items will require one or two readings; where legal references change, a two‑reading process is expected.

An update on the Education Foundation showed a 2026 fundraising goal of $515,000, a 3% increase over 2025; board members said fund-raising breakdowns are available on request.

Board members also reported work on facilities and community services: progress on a path project at Marcello Laveau Elementary School with a hoped-for 2026 completion, a traffic concern at Terry Redland that could warrant an additional flashing sign, and a morning tour of Bishop Dudley Hospitality House where district McKinney‑Vento staff were praised for their intake and placement work; members said the shelter served about 90 children this school year.

The updates were informational—no formal votes were recorded during the committee reports—and the board then moved to adjourn the work session by voice assent.
