Principal outlines staffing, classroom changes and new arrival/dismissal plan to improve safety
Summary
The principal told the board the district hired new staff, reorganized classrooms to cluster grades, relocated special-education rooms closer to the office, and will change arrival/dismissal routes to reduce vehicle conflicts; staff will collect drone footage to analyze traffic flow.
The principal reported current enrollment numbers (361 seniors, 427 juniors; 788 total) and summarized new hires and classroom reorganizations intended to improve building flow and student supervision. New hires named in the record include Lauren Turner (2nd grade), Julie Douglas (music/choir), and Anita Michael (speech-language); the principal said special-education classrooms were relocated closer to the office and auxiliary service providers.
To improve safety at arrival and dismissal the principal described a new traffic pattern that funnels car riders through the Waterloo Road entrance in a loop and separates high-school drivers; "We really are focusing on safety," the principal said, and staff plan to take drone footage the following day to study the flow and refine logistics.
