Summary

Two parents spoke during open public session expressing concerns about staffing levels, communication from the district and inclusion of students during field day and regarding individual student needs; the board recorded the comments but no formal action was taken at the meeting.

During the open public session at the June 1 meeting, two parents raised concerns related to staffing and student inclusion.

Lisa Ellis of 5 Shunpike Road told the board she was concerned about staffing, communication and inclusion of students during field day events. Kristen Gardener of 11 Sierra Way raised concerns about her daughter and sought the board's attention to the matter. The transcript records their remarks but does not record any formal board response or action taken during that meeting.

Why it matters: public-comment remarks flag operational or individual concerns that the administration or board may need to address administratively or in a future meeting.

The board adjourned at 8:42 p.m.; no vote or directive appears in the transcript tied directly to the two comments, and next steps on these concerns were not recorded in the minutes.
