On athletics, the board voted to add an assistant coach position for a JV softball team to the Schedule D salary grid to provide an assistant for the existing varsity squad; the motion was approved by voice vote.

A staff presenter and other members recognized student achievements and athletic successes from the winter season and announced two upcoming track events on May 14 and May 18, requesting volunteers from the community.
