Nathan Menar approached the podium during public comment to thank a third-grade teacher for positively affecting his children and then urged the board to consider expanded honors, college-prep and STEM opportunities for high-achieving students. He said many students in nearby districts have access to significantly more honors classes and asked the board to keep high achievers in mind while prioritizing budget and program decisions.
