Summary

The board reviewed draft goals emphasizing SEL and culture, expansion of student representative participation, high‑level instructional practice review with a target date of summer 2027 for decisions, and feasibility work — without a fixed deadline — on introducing world language to elementary grades.

Board members reviewed and revised proposed district goals covering culture and climate, student representation, instructional practices and exploratory work on world language in elementary grades.

Trustees agreed to increase student representative engagement (at least one full board meeting per month for student reps during core months) and to keep higher‑level targets for instructional practice decisions, noting the board will wait for committee recommendations and broader input before adopting prescriptive class‑size numbers. On world language, the board removed a fixed deadline and instead agreed to study feasibility and return with recommendations when appropriate.
