Summary

The board president thanked two retirees for long service, an administrator reported June safety drills and an extended-school-year program with 58 students, and the district shared staffing and early preschool/kindergarten registration numbers.

During the meeting the board acknowledged long-serving employees and received routine operational updates.

Board President (speaker 2) offered "heartfelt gratitude" to Sandra Burke, who served 26 years as a math interventionist/coach, and to Cindy (last name in the transcript unclear), who served 28 years in an office role, and wished them well in retirement.

An administrator/presenter (speaker 7) summarized June safety-drill activity: a fire drill at the elementary school and a shelter-in-place drill at the middle school on June 13, and other evacuation drills earlier in the month. The presenter also reported that the district's extended school-year program began June 30 and will run through July 31 with 58 students enrolled.

Staffing updates noted all open positions have been filled except for a secretary and a long-term substitute school counselor. Enrollment counts presented included 68 preschool registrations out of 90 slots and 64 kindergarten registrations to date; registration will remain open through the summer and the district plans to reserve slots for incoming special-education students who turn 3 during the year.

The board opened the public-comment period for agenda items but recorded no speakers and moved to new business. The meeting adjourned at 7:45 p.m.

Next steps: routine onboarding for newly hired staff and continuing summer registration and planning for the upcoming school year.
