Kenowa Hills board waives vote on proposed K-5 calendar change and hears teaching-and-learning updates
Summary
The Kenowa Hills Board waived its option to vote on moving K-5 from trimesters to semesters and on middle-school grade-level teaming, and received informational reports on the K-8 Benchmark Assessment Plan, administrator vacancies and the 2025-26 school-year start date.
The Kenowa Hills Board of Education on April 21 declined to take a formal vote at the meeting on a proposed shift from trimesters to semesters for K-5 and on grade-level teaming at the middle school, instead "waiving the option" to vote on those items.
Assistant Superintendent Dinkelmann presented Office of Teaching and Learning items for 2025-26, including a K-8 Benchmark Assessment Plan and a middle-school grade-level teaming proposal. The minutes record these items as discussion/information items; the board did not record a formal vote on them at this meeting.
Superintendent Hopkins also listed agenda items for the superintendent's report: the Enhancement Millage, administrator vacancies and postings, and the 2025-26 school-year start date. The minutes do not record formal decisions on those superintendent-report items at this meeting.
Student Representative Mya Gray reported that Pathways will host professionals to speak to students the following day, that three students have graduated since the last meeting, and that commencement is scheduled for May 27. The minutes note a brief board go-around where members reported on district events they attended.
The board announced upcoming meetings including a May 19 regular meeting at the high school (which will include a retiree reception) and budget hearings in June. No vote on the K-5 calendar or the middle-school teaming was taken on April 21; the minutes state the board waived the option to vote on those topics.
