Superintendent highlights robotics success, summer meal program and calendar; board members praise summer food distribution
Summary
Doctor Tudor noted the robotics team placed 14th worldwide (2nd among U.S. public schools), reminded families about summer meal/book bus schedules and outlined the school calendar; board members praised the summer food program after noting long lines at Avoca distribution.
Doctor Tudor used the meeting to brief the board and public on several district updates. He congratulated "Miss Kirk's students who performed at the robotics world championship" and said the team finished 14th in the world and 2nd among U.S. public schools.
Doctor Tudor reminded families that the last day of the summer meal program and the summer book bus at Avoca is Thursday, that back-to-school information was mailed home last week, and that teachers return on July 28. He said the first student day is Monday, August 3 and that it will be a two-hour day to assess which students attend and allow hiring of additional staff as needed.
Board members took turns praising the summer food distribution. One board member described seeing long lines of cars at Avoca and said, "I couldn't believe the line of cars," and expressed gratitude that the program ran out of food some weeks because it was serving many families. Another member announced that Sounds of Summer had moved to the King Building due to rain and encouraged residents to consider serving on Parks & Rec.
Next steps: staff will continue with back-to-school preparations and Parks & Rec will meet Thursday to review the aquatic center; no formal board action was recorded on these items.
