Superintendent, principal outline grants, facilities work and a review of computer literacy credit
Summary
Superintendent Bruce Todd reported applications for a $300,000 safety & security fencing grant, a $200,000 Healthy Kids grant and a $100,000 PUD grant; Principal Lisa Guzman reported enrollment (108 without PK), ELL up to 20 students and an ongoing evaluation of the Computer Literacy graduation credit.
Superintendent Bruce Todd presented the district’s December report, listing multiple grant applications and facility work planned for the coming months. The district applied for a $300,000 safety and security grant to complete fencing around school grounds, applied for a $200,000 "Healthy Kids, Healthy School" grant for weight-room and playground improvements and received initial notification for a Douglas County PUD grant of $100,000 to replace windows and doors (award expected at the end of January). The superintendent also noted punch-list items and planned carpet installation in entryways to be finished during the Christmas break.
Principal Lisa Guzman told the board the district population is rising (108 excluding pre-K in the principal materials) and that the number of English-language‑learner students increased from 15 to 20 this year. Guzman said the district is reviewing whether the longstanding Computer Literacy credit — reportedly in place before 2000 — remains appropriate now that state Computer Science requirements and electives are being developed; she noted the district currently teaches coding, drones and VR experiences as part of technology instruction.
