Students praise teachers but flag lunch shortages, parking and grading inconsistencies
Summary
Student linkages from Logan, Central and Polytech highlighted strong teacher support and school community but raised concerns about later‑lunch shortages, limited vegetarian/vegan options, parking fines for Central students, vape detectors and inconsistent standards‑based grading; board members said they will follow up.
Board members summarized student feedback from Logan, Central and Polytech linkages and identified recurring themes: strong praise for teachers, concerns about scheduling and food availability during later lunch periods, parking constraints and fines affecting some Central students, requests for additional vape detectors, and mixed experiences with standards‑based grading.
One board member summarized students’ nutrition concerns, saying students reported that “there isn't enough food at the end [of] second lunch,” and noted the district will evaluate operational options and budget implications. Dr. Engel defended student interpersonal skills and noted the district’s approach to snow days and virtual learning, saying, “I think their personal interpersonal skills are pretty darn good,” in response to a public question about student behavior.
Board members said linkage summaries will be included in end‑of‑year evaluation of priorities and that the district office and principals will review the specific suggestions; the board flagged school nutrition, parking and standards‑based grading for follow up.
