Summary

The board approved site plans for Templeton Middle School and Hamilton High School. Hamilton High’s presentation included a 100‑day plan focused on reducing chronic absenteeism and strengthening MTSS supports for the district’s lowest‑performing 25% of students.

The Hamilton School District board approved site plans for Templeton Middle School and Hamilton High School during its Oct. 21 meeting.

Templeton Middle School staff presented site‑plan goals that emphasized school climate, PBIS incentives, mentorship programs, and facilities work; the board approved the site plan by voice vote. Templeton presenters described MTSS cycles, student recognition initiatives ("bulldog" incentives and random acts of kindness boards), and operations such as updated lockers and gym repairs that staff said had improved student climate.

Hamilton High School’s presentation summarized a 100‑day plan the principal said will prioritize attendance and targeted supports for the district’s bottom 25% (the state‑defined target group). The principal outlined steps including improved attendance coding, expansion of MTSS (Multi‑Tiered System of Supports), weekly PLT/PLC meetings for data‑driven interventions, targeted ACT and preACT preparation for juniors, and administrative follow‑up on chronic absenteeism. Board members largely praised the approach; a motion to approve the high school site plan carried by voice vote.

What’s next: staff said they will return to future meetings with progress updates and that high‑school attendance work will be reported back in subsequent board sessions.
