At the meeting’s public participation segment, parent Marie Banks praised the district’s academic programs and called for better communication about successes.

"We gotta run this greatness all the time because people don't get it," Banks said, urging the district to publicize AP Capstone and other recognitions so families know how Southfield compares with neighboring districts.

Banks also told trustees that parents remain worried about transportation logistics related to the district’s multi‑site moves, particularly families with children assigned to different temporary locations. Superintendent Jennifer Green acknowledged the concern and said administration understands the issue is a priority as the district monitors move management logistics.

The board received the comment and proceeded to the consent agenda.
