Summary

Board meeting featured student excellence awards at three schools: Mission Middle (new building and student-led innovations), Bernardo Elementary and Quantum Academy (California Distinguished School), with principals and officials presenting recognitions.

The board’s recognitions segment highlighted student achievements across three schools. Principal Hoth of Mission Middle School described the new, bond-funded school building and a shift toward student-centered, project-based learning: "We officially opened our brand new school building this fall. This isn't just a structure of glass and steel, it is a promise kept to our children," he said while presenting awards to Naslin Pinera, Alina Urbano and Vienna Quang.

Bernardo Elementary’s Principal Reske praised the school’s climate and family involvement while presenting awards to Davis, Margo and Guilin; Quantum Academy’s Principal Jeremy Lachey noted that Quantum was recognized as a California Distinguished School and described the school’s project-based learning and "genius hour" model before presenting several student excellence awards. Board members and the president congratulated students and families during the recognitions and allowed a short recess for photos.
