Summary

Director Kelly Zoellner told the board enrollment is slightly down across buildings and second-quarter suspension numbers improved compared with past years, though incidents briefly rose after a fabricated SnapChat letter circulated.

Director of Curriculum and Instruction Kelly Zoellner told the board that enrollment numbers were slightly down across district buildings and included early graduates in the count. "This year the numbers were better than previous years," Zoellner said when referring to second-quarter suspension totals, but she added there was an increase in incidents when a fabricated SnapChat letter circulated.

Zoellner’s report framed discipline figures as an improvement year-over-year while also pointing to a transient spike related to the social-media incident. The report was presented as part of the standing reports and included in materials approved later in the meeting.

No board member action was recorded to alter discipline policy; administration said it would continue monitoring enrollment and student-behavior trends.
