In the superintendent's report, Superintendent Kevin Polston began by saying, "I want to begin by congratulating our boys track team on winning the State Championship," and he praised the coaching and student effort. Polston also recognized the Communications Department for "earning nine national awards from the National School Public Relations Association (NSPRA)" and named Tim and Kyra for their work. He closed the excerpt by calling attention to Juneteenth as a time to reflect and reaffirm the district's commitment to inclusion.

These recognitions were recorded as part of the superintendent's report in the minutes; the report item is celebratory and informational and does not indicate board action beyond acceptance of the report. The minutes do not provide further detail about the awards, such as award categories, or identify the boys track team by coach or school list.
