Administrators outline summer‑school enrollments, new gym floor and tech upgrades; SRO post to be advertised
Summary
District administrators reported summer‑school enrollment trends, unveiled a newly replaced old‑gym maple floor, and discussed server and software upgrades including a trial of bundled vendor Bloxy; the district will begin recruitment to fill the recently vacated School Resource Officer post.
District administrators used the June meeting to brief the board on operations and capital work for the summer and coming year.
Summer school: The district holds two nine‑day summer‑school sessions. Administrators said enrollment typically declines as sessions progress; staff reported finishing the first session the prior Friday and beginning the second session on the meeting date.
Facilities: Administrators showed the board a newly replaced maple floor in the old gym, noting the floor was replaced after a flood and insurance claim and will be used for practices and community activities. Board members discussed whether to re‑open the old weight‑room side and reinstall bleachers.
Technology and devices: District technology staff member Isaac described planned server upgrades and an effort to consolidate several systems into a single vendor. Isaac said the district had trialed Bloxy for student‑safety monitoring, classroom‑management and web‑filtering functions. He told the board the bundled option would reduce reliance on a custom in‑house system (OSM) and simplify maintenance; Isaac said the bundle would result in a small annual increase — in his words, "talking 12 to $2,200 somewhere in that range" — but would lower ongoing administrative overhead. Chromebook replacements continue on a multi‑year cycle; last year’s device purchases were funded in part with Title funds.
Security staffing and policy: Dr. Johnson told the board that School Resource Officer Jeff Cunningham resigned and that the district’s first option is to recruit and hire a replacement; the hiring process was scheduled to begin the following day. She also said administrators will recommend updating board policy on credit‑card holders to align the written policy with current practice, where several administrators carry district cards for purchases.
What happens next: The administration will begin recruiting for the SRO vacancy, continue technology procurement analysis and bring any recommended contracts or policy changes back to the board for approval.
