Administrators present District Career and Academic Plan; directors report on operations
Summary
District administrators presented the District Career and Academic Plan goals and progress for 2025–26; transportation, food service, maintenance and special education directors gave operational updates and upcoming plans.
Administrators reviewed the District Career and Academic Plan (DCAP), summarizing goals for 2025–26 and the district’s efforts to support career exploration and post-secondary planning for students. The presentation was given by High School Principal Jen Garin, Middle School Principal/Activities Director Luke Steege and Curriculum Director Kelli Olson.
In follow-up oral reports, Transportation Director Justin Piggott said the department has been preparing for an upcoming inspection and thanked long-time driver Ron Troendle for his service. Food Service Director Jess Keenan said summer feeding will take place at West Elementary and described how the district’s purchasing policy affects procurement plans. Maintenance Director Tyler Plein reported spring sports preparations and plans for an HVAC project this summer. Special Education Director Amy Holst outlined upcoming transitional meetings scheduled for the next professional development day. Curriculum Director Kelli Olson described a four-quadrant professional-development approach being used during PD days. High school and middle school administrators reported on testing, prom and upcoming athletics events. Superintendent Jay Mathis updated the board on the state legislative session, the Crossroads Academy closure and an upcoming conference realignment meeting.
Why it matters: The DCAP presentation provides context for curricular priorities and postsecondary planning; the operational reports identify near-term tasks affecting students and staff, including summer feeding logistics and HVAC work that may require contractor scheduling.
The board received the reports; no formal action was recorded on the DCAP presentation or the oral updates.
