Summary

Board recognized student leaders and volunteers who created 3D-printed plaques and support the 'share shed' donation program; administrators described student volunteer involvement in expanding access and confidential distribution.

Board members received a student-led presentation and tokens of appreciation at the start of the meeting. The superintendent and other administrators thanked leadership-class students and the engineering teacher Brett Costley for producing 3D-printed plaques and T-shirts for board appreciation. "They produced these individual plaques," an administrator (speaker 3) said, crediting the engineering classroom and explaining the items are a small token of appreciation.

The business and administrative reports also highlighted the 'share shed' volunteer program — a small on-campus closet where families and students can access donated clothing and supplies. Administrators said high-school students have volunteered to expand participation and that the program is intentionally confidential so students do not experience stigma when accessing items. Board members praised staff volunteers (Charice Harper named by the superintendent) for the program's role in reducing barriers to attendance and engagement.
