Board hears updates on sixth-grade move and Golden West construction; staff to fine-tune schedules and transportation
Summary
District staff outlined plans and scheduling work for the incoming sixth-grade program at Golden West, including master-schedule development, principal hiring steps, transportation coordination with base partners, and next steps for staffing and family communication.
District and school leaders reported progress on the planned sixth-grade reconfiguration and the Golden West construction project and asked for continued coordination with families and base partners.
Nick, presenting updates, said the Golden West team is developing a student-centered master schedule that responds to student requests; counselor and teacher teams and administrative staff are supporting the transition. He said principal recruitment is underway with interviews planned in mid-March, and the district plans to post an assistant principal position to match future leadership needs.
Staff emphasized transportation coordination for military families and logistical steps for transition. Board members asked staff to anticipate ID-card needs for students who must pass through Forbes Gate to re-enter base housing and to provide outreach so families can schedule required appointments during the summer. One board member recommended early, visible community communication about the construction and the dirt-moving across the street to reduce confusion and traffic concerns.
On timing and staffing, trustees heard that detailed elective assignments and co-curricular integrations depend on the finalized master schedule; staff said they would return with further details to help the board and families plan for the transition.
The item remained informational; no formal action was taken beyond directing staff to continue outreach and return with subsequent details.
