Students recognized for contests; district updates CTE, CDL simulator and testing
Summary
Board members praised students and staff after music contest results and reported CTE/training activity including CDL simulator use, upcoming SMART balance and ACCESS testing, kindergarten screening and special-education evaluations underway.
The board paused to recognize student achievements across elementary, middle and high school programs and reviewed short instructional updates.
A music contest was highlighted: one girls' group was in its first year of contesting and earned scores of 32 and 33 out of 35; overall, 15 of 16 entries earned ratings. The board congratulated students and leaders: "We're proud of you guys," a board member said after the performance.
The elementary principal reported a 98% attendance rate at parent-teacher conferences and recent kindergarten screening (25 students screened with 6 certain enrollments and several on the margin). The district administered ACCESS for English-language learners (results with WIDA grading due in May) and noted upcoming SMART balance testing in April.
Middle and high school remarks included updates on CTE programming, students previewing a CDL simulator (staff described strong student responsibility when operating the $130,000 simulator), wrestling state placers and spring-sports starts. Staff also referenced national-conference takeaways for professional development and AI discussions affecting administrative work.
Board direction: continue monitoring screening and assessment schedules and pursue CTE partnerships and community support for program development.
