Board discusses boundary study, attendance‑center models and a dynamic performance dashboard
The board received an annual boundary study review and discussed next steps, including further analysis of enrollment capacity, demographic trends and instructional delivery models.

Administration recommended refining the boundary analysis, compiling enrollment and capacity data, and preparing background on attendance‑center models used by peer districts. Several trustees cited disparities they see across elementary schools (for example, North Grove and South Prairie) and raised questions about whether attendance centers or a hybrid model could better allocate district resources and supports. Trustees agreed this conversation merits additional staff work and suggested a deeper discussion in a special meeting or at a February planning session.

Separately, administration outlined progress on an in‑house dynamic student achievement dashboard intended to report on board goals and provide a living resource for tracking academic success, engagement and financial stewardship. Trustees praised the idea of hosting the dashboard on the district website for community transparency and discussed delegating authority to administration (Michael and Christian) to publish the dashboard once the initial draft is ready. The board emphasized focusing first on clear data and usability rather than aesthetics.

No final decisions were made on boundary changes or instructional model shifts; trustees directed staff to continue study and return with refined analyses and options.
