The board approved the 2025 audit, a film-rating/parental-consent policy, the 2026–27 staff rehire list (with two abstentions), art-walk funding, early graduates and both the middle- and high-school handbooks (high-school handbook approved with amendments).
At its April 7 meeting the Lockwood Board recorded several formal actions.
- 2025 audit report: Approved unanimously. Trustees asked the auditor to appear at a future meeting to provide a high-level briefing.

- Staff rehire list (2026–27): Approved; two trustees abstained due to conflicts of interest (family members).
- Art-walk horticulture funding: Approved, $279.25 to come from the board’s 115 account (balance reported at roughly $22,000).
- Early graduates (2026): Board approved the list after confirmation that candidates met state and district requirements.
- Middle-school handbook: Approved as presented, including changes to tardy/refocus procedures and program name modifications (e.g., Lion Leaders).
- High-school handbook (2627): Approved with amendments (correspondence application dates corrected and hate-speech language clarified); two trustees voted no.
- Director/tech matrix: Board approved moving Paul Craig to the tech director matrix step three; one trustee opposed.
No single omnibus ordinance was passed; each item is reflected in the board minutes and will be implemented by the appropriate department.
