Summary
A presenter described student-driven 'Team Boone' initiatives that reduced chronic absenteeism and targeted EOC performance; the presentation also noted new athletic hires and student college signings.
The board heard a presentation highlighting Daniel Boone High School's student-centered initiative, "Team Boone," which the presenter said was developed from student and parent surveys and centers on the values Together, Encourage, Accountable and Motivated.
Presenter remarks described specific student-led outcomes: expanded student involvement (more than 400 students attended a November meeting), senior parking markings, a winter social, and a musket ball dance adaptation. Administrators described classroom-focused professional development, four instructional focus areas, and discipline of chronic absenteeism through attendance contracts and field-trip restrictions tied to attendance thresholds.
The presenter reported metric changes: chronic absence at the end of the 2024–25 year was stated as 25.3%, with a semester goal to reduce the rate below 18% for students with attendance concerns. The school also reported EOC declines in Algebra I and English I compared with higher-level courses and emphasized student-growth targets. The presentation closed with an athletics update: the new boys' head coach (named in the transcript) and several female athletes who had signed college invitations.
Board members thanked the presenter and acknowledged the school team's work; the district will retain the presentation in public records and is expected to follow up on EOC and attendance progress in future reports.
The presentation was informational and no formal board action was required.
