Summary
Miss Phillips reported administrative updates including renaming the director position to director of curriculum and instruction, presented Parents-as-Teachers service numbers (55 families, 72 children), and recognized Megan Alexander as the first finishers of Kansas' registered teacher apprenticeship pilot.
During her report Miss Phillips (Tanya Phillips) presented several administrative and recognition items.
She recommended a change in title from "director of school improvement services" to "director of curriculum and instruction" and asked for board approval on routine clean-up items. She summarized the Parents-as-Teachers program delivered through a partnership with Keystone Learning Services, reporting that the program has served 55 families and 72 children under the district contract.
Miss Phillips congratulated Megan Alexander, a pre-K teacher, as the district’s first participant to complete the Kansas registered teacher apprenticeship program. She said Alexander worked full time while earning a bachelor’s degree and teaching license and will receive her official license at the Kansas State Board of Education ceremony the next day.
Miss Phillips also reported that the district hosted a Kansas teacher-of-the-year cohort visit, participated in a KISA school improvement day alongside nearby districts including Tonganoxie, Eudora, Atchison and Wamego, and noted upcoming health-insurance negotiations with information expected in May.
Board members asked no substantive follow-up questions in open session on these items during the meeting.
