Parents and residents urge action on bullying as superintendent praises graduation and staff
Summary
At the June 1 Thompson Falls School District #2 meeting, public commenters urged the board to address bullying; Superintendent Bud Scully and staff highlighted a successful graduation, upcoming 8th grade promotion and spring sports achievements.
Several community members used the public‑comment portion of the June 1 Thompson Falls School District #2 board meeting to raise concerns about student well‑being and school culture.
Cody Pallister addressed the board (speaking twice in the minutes) on matters not itemized in the minutes. Pat Crowder thanked trustees for their longevity of service. Shawnee Simpson read the district mission statement and specifically asked the board to address bullying in the schools.
Superintendent Bud Scully described graduation as "awesome," thanked staff members (including "Josh and Jordan" and the setup crew) for their work on the ceremony, and said he looked forward to the 8th grade promotion, an end‑of‑year barbecue and honoring retirees. Mr. Dorscher invited the public to the 8th grade promotion at 10:00 A.M. on June 5, 2026.
Doree Thilmony gave a brief athletics report: track qualified 10 athletes to state competition, golf fielded 16 athletes with a strong showing and baseball had four athletes. Mrs. Morgan hosted the 8th graders for lunch before they attended later periods; the high school plans to host a "Focus on Freshmen" family engagement night.
The minutes record these public comments and staff reports but do not include statements beyond what is summarized above or any formal board response to the bullying request. No formal action or policy direction on bullying appears in the minutes.
