Speakers highlight outdoor learning, gardening and classroom reward system at East Broadway
Summary
Community members described outdoor reading, student gardening, and a weekly 'chief tickets' reward drawn in the cafeteria as specific practices supporting student engagement at East Broadway.
Three speakers at a public meeting described concrete classroom practices at East Broadway that they said support student engagement. Alexandra Wolf noted that the school building "is 1 level...we have access to outside" and that "sometimes we'll go outside and read books," while Jennifer Ragland described a rewards program where students earn "chief tickets" that are entered into a box for cafeteria drawings.
Those practices were presented as part of a broader school culture of recognition and continuity. Ragland said the drawings "put them into a box and we do drawings in the cafeteria" and described students' joyful reactions when names are drawn. The transcript records these program details but does not attach specific budget figures, staffing changes, or formal district decisions related to the practices.
