Summary
Superintendent Dr. Manatta reported the first day of school went well, highlighted a Newsweek high-school ranking and noted one teacher received accreditation; staff reported 21 College Board National Recognition awards for Blackhawk students.
Superintendent Dr. Manatta told the Blackhawk School Board that the district's first day of the school year was "a great day," praising staff who managed student drop-off and noting strong participation at multiple schools.
"I was able to be at some of the schools, for either student drop off or staff," Dr. Manatta said, adding that the high school was again recognized by Newsweek "as nation's best high school." He also noted a teacher in the district earned accreditation related to the CHS physics course.
A district staff member identified as Mr. Ford reported the district received notification from the College Board that Blackhawk students earned 21 National Recognition Program awards across eligible measures including PSAT/NMSQT and AP exam performance. Mr. Ford said the recipients are current seniors and staff plan to recognize them on district social media.
The board thanked administration and asked for follow-up where needed; no formal action was taken on these informational items.
