Summary

Administrators reported enrollment figures, sports participation rates, academic and extracurricular highlights, and plans to pilot an anonymous counseling/bullying reporting app at no cost to the district ahead of Thanksgiving.

District administrators briefed trustees on enrollment and program updates across elementary, middle and high schools. Elementary enrollment was reported at about 285 pupils with small incoming changes noted; reading programs (Accelerated Reader), field trips and an upcoming food drive were among the items highlighted.

Athletics updates showed winter sports participation estimates (girls' basketball ~18–22, boys' basketball 26; middle‑school participation broken down by grade). The athletic director discussed scheduling, co‑ops with other districts and a possible pilot for girls' football that would operate under a grant model. Trustees asked staff to survey interest if the district considers launching that program.

At the high school level, administrators reported a $5,500 grant to buy CNA training equipment (hospital bed, mannequins) for a CNA course planned in the second semester and cited student success in regional music honors. Staff also described a county‑provided counseling/bullying reporting app the district plans to pilot near Thanksgiving; the app allows anonymous reporting, routes alerts to a school response team and is described as free to the district. Staff noted concerns about false reports and said they would propose follow‑up language to address knowingly false reports if needed.
