Parents tell Fraser Board they faced safety incidents in kindergarten; superintendent says RMS air-conditioning repaired
Summary
During non-agenda public comment at the June 10 meeting, Disney-area parents described a kindergarten student's aggressive behavior and classroom evacuations; Superintendent Carrie Wozniak said Richards Middle School's air-conditioning unit has been repaired and that SACC/Y licensing is in place for elementary schools.
Several parents used the public-comment period at the June 10 Fraser Board of Education meeting to press the board about student safety and facility concerns.
Kristin Elsey, a Disney parent, told the board she was concerned about her kindergarten student’s safety this past year because of another child whose behavior prompted multiple classroom evacuations. Lily Terry, also identified as a Disney parent, said her daughter was hit unprovoked by the same student and asked the board to ensure the behavior is not tolerated.
Molly Magnotte, a Disney and Richards Middle School parent, said her third-grade child was hit in a separate incident and asked whether students could paint parking spots at the high school. Board member Todd Koch responded that painting would not proceed because the high school parking lot is scheduled for complete resurfacing in summer 2025.
Shannon Vesper-Balsamo, a Disney parent, thanked the board for providing transportation to Salk for the Young 5s program and asked about the air conditioning at Richards Middle School. Superintendent Carrie Wozniak reported that the RMS air-conditioning unit has been repaired. Wozniak also provided an update on the SACC program and a partnership with the Y, noting that all six elementary schools have been licensed and staff recruitment is underway ahead of anticipated registration.
The minutes record the parents’ concerns and the superintendent’s operational updates but do not include any board directives or formal follow-up steps related to the reported student-behavior incidents.
