Superintendent reports on makeup days, driver‑education staffing and possible sixth‑grade move
Summary
Superintendent updated the board: the district used two makeup days and would shift further closures to virtual days; the driver‑education director is not returning and options are being explored; a teacher committee is studying a potential sixth‑grade move to the high school for 2027–28.
Superintendent (presenter) told the board the district has used its two allocated weather makeup days (Feb. 16 and April 6) and that any additional closures would become asynchronous virtual days with posted assignments rather than live remote instruction.
On career/technical programming, the presenter said Mrs. Orif, the director of driver education, will not return next year. The district is exploring alternatives including offering the classroom portion online, subsidizing classroom fees for families and recruiting a certified behind‑the‑wheel instructor; board members noted certification and vehicle requirements increase cost and complexity.
The board also heard that a teacher committee is studying moving sixth grade into the high school building for the 2027–28 school year to address space and program alignment. The superintendent said a formal recommendation could come by March but stressed administrators need details on projected costs, scheduling and family notifications before bringing a final proposal.
The presenter previewed an initial 2026–27 calendar draft and noted Memorial Day timing could shift graduation dates; staff and a district advisory council will review the calendar with teachers before a final recommendation.
