Superintendent Keevin O'Neill reported an uptick in student behavior at elementary schools and said the district will review and revise the student handbook, analyze discipline data, and work with behavior teams on individual student plans.

Superintendent Keevin O'Neill told the board March 9 that the district has observed a recent increase in behavioral incidents, particularly at the elementary level, and outlined next steps for district staff.

"We will review/revise our student handbook, analyse our discipline data, and work with the behavior teams on individual student behavior plans," O'Neill said, according to the meeting minutes.
