Superintendent Kirby presented several operational updates at the March 17 meeting. Kirby noted district staff participated in professional development on March 14, said the federal government shutdown had been averted, and announced that absentee ballots for the May 6 operating millage election would be available starting March 22.

The minutes also record that the district is working on a safety and security partnership with the Kent County Sheriff's Office. Orchard View Principal Christina Mendoza announced her upcoming retirement during the superintendent's report.

The minutes do not provide further detail about timelines, specific survey response rates, or operational contract terms for the safety partnership; staff follow-up was implied for survey review and millage communications.
