Principals and athletic director highlight student achievements, surveys and upcoming trips
Summary
School principals and the athletic director reported student music festival placements, a student fundraising project, curriculum‑night planning, and an athletics survey that flagged practice‑time and scheduling concerns; the district plans more parent outreach and fundraising to support student participation in trips.
Principals and the athletic director updated the board on student achievements, school events and a recent athletics survey. Lacy Stenholm, principal at China Middle School, highlighted music festival results — several 8th‑grade students placed individually and the school’s team placed — and described a student‑led fundraising project to support a classmate.
Scott Al, principal of Kielinski High School, described a successful winter concert season, a free community winter event organized by the student government and plans for a small annual ice‑rink experience. He also previewed course scheduling changes and curriculum‑night plans intended to boost family engagement.
Chad Boy, the high‑school athletic director, summarized the parent and participant survey on athletics logistics and satisfaction. He said scale results were mostly positive, while open‑ended responses raised issues about practice end times, field access, and team‑specific concerns. The athletic program intends to address scheduling problems with coaches and to pursue fundraising and subsidies to support students who cannot afford trip costs.
The board had no formal votes on athletics items at this meeting; staff said they will continue to refine the survey instrument, present more detailed results and pursue fundraising to expand trip support.
