Paideia High School senior reports on new STEM labs; Boosters for Bears elects president and flags WSBCA concerns
Summary
Paideia High School senior Carson Perrin updated the board on 10 new STEM labs and 23 enrolled students; Boosters for Bears president Shantel Gerow reported leadership changes and said she will investigate prior practices and WSBCA guidelines.
Carson Perrin, a senior at Paideia High School, told the Valley School District Board on Sept. 18 that Paideia now has 10 STEM labs — a mix of computer-based and hands-on labs that include engine maintenance, nursing and home-maintenance instruction — and that the school’s enrollment this year is 23 students. Perrin said students are enjoying new booster-sponsored events and school lunches, and noted that a flagpole is being installed near the school with a suggestion to add a PHS flag.
Shantel Gerow, newly elected president of the Boosters for Bears, joined the meeting to introduce herself and said the booster club will meet twice monthly. Gerow raised concerns about prior booster practices and rules and regulations involving WSBCA and said she would research applicable guidelines and return with findings. She also reported that the booster club’s vice president and treasurer have stepped down and that she seeks open communication with district staff and the board.
The student report and booster update were presented as informational items; no formal board actions were recorded in the minutes related to the items.
