Summary

Superintendent Dr. Wise presented projected PK–8 class sizes for the 2025–26 school year and recommended adding an additional fourth‑grade section to reduce class size. He noted current third‑grade classes are at 26 students and that adding a section would alleviate projected overcrowding.
Dr. Wise also discussed transportation planning: the district had planned to add a bus route to lengthen the school day, but he said staff hope to defer implementing that route until next year to allow integration into the full bus schedule tied to a planned schedule change. The board asked for further analysis of gym rental pricing and space options for buildings at capacity.
Staff will return to the board with recommendations on policy adjustments for gym rentals and any scheduling changes required to add routes or sections.
