Superintendent highlights student exchange, college visits and staff training
Summary
Superintendent Adam Bowen reported on Homecoming activities, a visit from six students from Spain, upcoming WMU college visits for juniors and seniors, reminders on Visitor Aware background checks for Halloween events, a staff 'coffee with the superintendent' series, and a districtwide professional development session focused on tech and AI.
Superintendent Adam Bowen used his remarks to highlight recent student and staff activities and upcoming programs.
Bowen reported that Homecoming occurred last week (the football team lost but the events were described as "exciting") and that six students from Spain visited the district and participated in Homecoming festivities. He said juniors and seniors will visit Western Michigan University on Wednesday while freshmen and sophomores will participate in career-readiness and college-board activities on a later, to-be-determined date.
Bowen reminded parents to ensure their Visitor Aware background checks are up to date ahead of school Halloween parties and announced a first round of "coffee with the superintendent" meetings for staff to raise district questions, including items such as the PUD, an electronic keycard system and millage. He also noted an all-day professional development session Oct. 11 at the LMC that focused on tech and AI and included participation from four Berrien County districts.
The comments were informational; no formal board action was recorded in relation to the items Bowen discussed.
