At the March 17 meeting the board adopted routine business items, acknowledged staff and student recognitions, and received an update on a school‑safety survey.
Retirement resolution: the board read Resolution 2026‑3‑C1 accepting the retirement of Michael Hawley (effective 08/21/2026) and extended thanks for his years of service in multiple roles. The chair indicated the consent agenda (items C1–C9) would be handled together.
Recognitions: the board congratulated coaches and students for statewide athletic achievements and thanked performing‑arts staff for recent successes.
School safety survey: administrators reported results from a high‑school weapons‑detection and safety survey, noting roughly 70–77% of respondents supported continuing a weapons‑detection system but that respondents raised concerns about privacy, false reports and student experience. The district said funding is available to pilot equipment and suggested installing equipment in June with student government involvement to demonstrate and gather feedback.
