On a motion by Jeffrey Ryan, seconded by Annette Ratajczak, the board approved the reading and adoption of district student handbooks for Central Elementary, Sterling Elementary, the Jr/Sr High School, Work Based Learning, and the Jr/Sr High Curriculum Guide for the 2026–2027 school year. "I move to approve the reading of the handbooks for Central Elementary, Sterling Elementary, Jr/Sr High School, and Work Based Learning, and the Jr/Sr High School Curriculum Guide and to adopt them for the 2026-2027 school year as presented," the motion stated and passed with five votes in favor.
