Superintendent reports Naukati School has exited improvement plan; district departments share updates

At the Nov. 20 meeting of the Southeast Island School District Board of Education, Superintendent Rod Morrison presented the superintendent’s report and invited department and school leaders to share highlights.

Tina Peyerk, identified in the minutes as from DEED, presented the Naukati School Improvement report; the minutes state that Naukati is the first small school in Alaska to exit school improvement plan status. Other school and department reports covered topics including events, inservice and teacher evaluations (Shaine Nixon), school activities and survey results (Mike Congdon), Hollis School emergency planning and gym equipment (Lisa Cates), Coffman Cove staffing and events (Mackenzie Slayton), Port Alexander programs (Patrick Trischman), Whale Pass written report (read by Andy Cook), child nutrition audit and greenhouse donations (Rod Morrison), maintenance projects and a fire marshal report (Scott Randall), special education staffing and paraprofessional qualifications (Robbin Perkins), grant activity and ESEA monitoring (Astrid Richard-Cook), and disposal of old technology equipment (Everett Cook). Student Representative Teagen Taylor read a student report covering classes and activities.

The minutes list a wide range of routine administrative topics and local school updates. The record does not provide verbatim remarks or detailed data for each report; it records who presented each item and summarizes the subjects covered. The board did not take formal action tied to these reports during this meeting; the entry is recorded in the minutes as part of administrative/board reports.
