Board emphasizes attendance, announces career/trade expo and civic partnerships
Summary
Board president and the superintendent emphasized student attendance as a top priority and announced a career trade expo on Oct. 29 at Hoosick Falls Armory for grades 10–12; staff also noted recent and planned civic visits with state senators to discuss rural school challenges.
Board President Katie Murray opened the president's report by underlining the importance of student attendance across grade levels and encouraged families and staff to support regular attendance.
The superintendent echoed that focus, describing data‑driven strategies — including home visits and weekly team meetings — to improve attendance and academic outcomes. He also announced a career trade expo set for Oct. 29 at the Hoosick Falls Armory for grades 10 through 12, and thanked counselors and community partners for organizing the event.
Administrators reported recent partnerships and visits: a state official visited an economics classroom as part of a new Civic Seal pathway for seniors, and the superintendent noted a visit with Senator Jake Ashby to discuss rural school needs including funding, transportation, and teacher shortages.
Next steps: continued focus on attendance interventions, home outreach, and data discussions at grade‑level team meetings; the career expo will bring students to the Hoosick Falls Armory on Oct. 29.
