Loading...
Summary
Superintendent announced approval to offer two chemistry honors courses for both college and high‑school credit (two courses, eight college credits), increasing dual‑credit offerings to 34; the district also launched a targeted bus‑driver recruitment campaign and reported several interviews scheduled.
In the superintendent’s opening report he told trustees that, thanks to local staff efforts and a specific curriculum lead, two chemistry honors courses were approved to be offered for both college and high‑school credit next year. “That's 2 courses, 8 credits,” the Superintendent said, and noted that the district’s dual‑credit offerings have grown from 22 to 34 courses over several years.
The superintendent also outlined a multi‑pronged bus‑driver recruitment effort tied to a recent memorandum of agreement: the district published a web banner, released a podcast featuring four drivers with varied schedules, distributed flyers and followed up with past applicants. Early results included multiple inquiries and an initial set of interviews that rose into the mid‑single digits over a few days.
Trustees thanked staff for the outreach and for the district’s efforts to expand programming and fill critical operational roles. The board encouraged continued recruitment and outreach as part of maintaining reliable transportation services.
