Summary

District administration shared an eight-year chart of disciplinary actions and reported ISS and OSS totals for 2025-26 (as of Nov. 12) are higher than the previous two years; board discussed data and asked for continued monitoring.

Dr. Gordon presented an eight-year disciplinary data table at the Nov. 17 meeting and told the board that in-school suspension (ISS) and out-of-school suspension (OSS) totals for the current 2025-26 school year are higher than the previous two years.

The minutes include a year-by-year table and an eight-year average; administrators said the totals to date will be tracked and discussed further in upcoming committee meetings. No disciplinary appeals or individual student actions were disclosed in open session — the board later entered executive session for student disciplinary and personnel matters.

Board members did not take formal action on discipline at the meeting; the presentation served as an information item and a prompt to continue monitoring school climate and interventions.
