Summary
Superintendent Owens reported on winter data summits for 9th and 10th grades, plans for a student summit in May, and the formation of a facilities advisory committee with its first meeting scheduled for March 5 at Parklane Elementary.
Superintendent Owens told the board that Centennial High School hosted a winter data summit focused on ninth- and tenth-grade language arts, math, attendance and discipline as part of the district’s roadmap '27 continuous improvement work. Owens said teacher teams and administrators reviewed disaggregated student data, instructional action steps and school improvement plans.
"This winter session is the second of 3 planned data summits designed to support ongoing monitoring of student performance," Owens said, and noted the spring session is scheduled for April 22 and a culminating student summit for May 19.
On facilities planning, Owens said the district formed a facilities advisory committee from a pool of applicants, with onboarding underway. "The first facilities advisory committee meeting is scheduled for next week on March 5 at Parklane Elementary," he said, and described the committee as advisory — designed to gather community-informed feedback to shape a long-range facilities recommendation to the board.
Owens also told the board the district is monitoring the 2026 short-session legislative discussion and county budget decisions that could affect K–12 funding and school-based mental-health services. He noted recent meetings with county leadership to advocate for preserving mental-health supports.
The superintendent closed by inviting questions; board members generally expressed support and asked clarifying questions about student participation and committee timelines. Owens confirmed mediation sessions with the Centennial Education Association were scheduled in the coming days as part of ongoing collective bargaining.
