Technology staff reported a notable uptick in repairs for 7th and 8th grade Chromebooks; Barton Rud said the district will implement a new policy under which those devices will not be allowed to go home unless they are specifically checked out to students. The change aims to reduce repair costs and device downtime for middle school students.
Tammy Cebulla discussed the district's MN Read Act Literacy Plan and activities to align schedules with state changes; Rud also provided an update on Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS). The Strategic Plan was presented by Superintendent on Special Assignment Daniel Ludvigson earlier in the meeting.
