Parent urges stronger discipline as middle school outlines behavior action steps
Summary
During audience participation, Middle School Principal Alex Byland reviewed behavior‑data work and action steps; parent Courtney Gillison urged the board to strengthen discipline procedures, add out‑of‑classroom support and improve communication to prioritize safety.
Middle School Principal Alex Byland briefed the board during open audience participation about BCMS’s roadmap for behavior: reviewing behavior data, implementing restorative practices, examining M‑STEP and PSAT results, and defining action steps to support students.
Parent Courtney Gillison of Bear Lake submitted a written statement and told the board she speaks on behalf of parents at Homestead Hills School expressing concern over ongoing disruptive behavior, lack of respect toward staff, and incidents that have made families feel unsafe. She urged the board to review and strengthen district discipline procedures, provide more out‑of‑classroom support for students who need it, and improve communication with parents and the community. The board acknowledged receipt of the written document; no formal board decision on discipline policy occurred at the meeting.
