Summary

Presentations to the board included a talk on adolescent screen time and digital health, a facilities use and cost report for summer scheduling, and a CO‑OP athletic programming overview; minutes record topics but not extensive detail.

During the public portion of the meeting, the board received three staff and guest presentations. Jeff Hardwig presented material on "Digital Health and Wellbeing," focusing on effects of screen time on the adolescent brain. Josh Glashauckas gave an overview of summer facilities use and associated costs to inform future scheduling and community rentals. Bryan Kershaw and Activities Director Timm Ringhofer presented on CO‑OP athletic programming, outlining cooperative athletic arrangements the district is exploring.

The minutes summarize the subjects of the presentations but do not provide slide content, staffing recommendations, or specific cost figures from the facilities report. The presentation on digital health flagged student screen time as a concern for adolescent well‑being; however, the minutes contain no direct quotations or policy motions tied to the presentation.

Board members did not record formal action on the presentations during the meeting; the items were recorded as informational and may prompt follow‑up at subsequent meetings or in committee.
