Parents Urge Program Expansion and Seek Answers on Investigations During Public Comment

Jenison Public Schools Board of Education · June 8, 2026

Summary

Public commenters urged expansion of Wilderness Academy and asked for transparency about a student-athlete investigation; commenters also requested public availability of the superintendent evaluation tool and raised past soccer concerns.

During public comment at the June 8 meeting, multiple residents addressed the board on distinct issues. Ashley Rottman spoke in favor of Wilderness Academy’s proposed third‑grade expansion for the 2027–28 school year and thanked the district for supporting the program. Quincy Williams expressed concerns about his daughter’s softball experience and dissatisfaction with how the district handled an investigation. Ellen Rosevear requested that the superintendent evaluation tool be posted on the district website, and Diana Waymiller raised concerns related to her daughter’s prior soccer experience.

Board policy generally reserves public comment for non‑agenda items and matters residents wish to bring forward; the board did not take immediate board-level action on these comments during the meeting. The speakers were identified in the meeting minutes and their remarks were recorded as public comment items.
