Parents raise concerns about screen time, interventions and leadership pay during public comment
Summary
Three public commenters urged attention to screen time and intervention services; one also compared leadership compensation increases to teacher raises over the past decade and another warned of culture shifts after administrative departures.
Three members of the public addressed the board during the public comment period, raising questions about classroom technology use, intervention services and recent leadership turnover.
Amy Moldenhauer said she is concerned about "the amount of screen time students experience at school and its negative impacts," and encouraged the board and superintendent to explore the issue; she noted participation in the superintendent's book club as background. Patrick Helms thanked the district for the Family BBQ, asked about 4th grade intervention and raised concerns that compensation increases for district leadership positions — including the CBO, IT and HR roles — have outpaced teacher raises over the past ten years. David Lanum said he has observed a shift in school culture following the departure of the principal and vice principal.
Superintendent Pannu responded to procedural questions and reminded speakers of public-comment rules; the transcript does not record substantive policy responses or specific commitments to change practice during the meeting.
