Summary

Superintendent Carter presented administrative goals that include districtwide assessments (considering ACT), improved communications via a district app/QR-code rollout, and exploring sale or productive use of a small newly acquired parcel for a tiny home; the board adopted the goals by roll call.

Superintendent Carter presented three primary administrative goals that the board approved: expanding assessments at the high school (discussing ACT or PSAT options and paying for student tests), improving district communications (a district app and QR-code strategy for registration and athletics updates), and evaluating options for a newly acquired tiny-home property adjacent to the athletic complex for potential sale or long-term placement.

Carter said assessments would provide strand-level data to drive instruction and help students with college readiness: "That's one of my goals is to get that assessment, especially at the high school," Carter said. On communications Carter proposed building a QR-code/registration workflow and moving toward a district app so families can receive targeted notifications. On the property, Carter said the district had only recently learned it owned an undersized lot with a tiny home; his goal is to determine zoning and possible sale or other productive uses while addressing code and planning commission requirements.
