Superintendent: enrollment steady at 561; district flags aging wastewater tank and broadband work
Summary
Superintendent reported enrollment steady at 561, continued K‑8 free meals pending TK funding decisions, a bus ordered earlier should begin construction in April, a deteriorating wastewater holding tank needs engineering review, and a new fiber‑optic run is planned over spring break.
The superintendent updated the board on district operations and several maintenance initiatives.
He told trustees that enrollment was “steady at 561,” and said the district is watching state decisions on transitional kindergarten (TK) funding that could affect program caps. The superintendent said the district expects to continue providing free breakfast and lunch for K–8 families for the time being due to outreach and eligibility confirmations.
On facilities, the superintendent flagged a significant maintenance issue: the steel structure of a wastewater holding tank is "starting to deteriorate," and he advised engaging engineers to evaluate options — from liners to full replacement — before failure occurs. He told the board the district will solicit engineering names and begin preliminary outreach.
Transportation and technology updates included notice that a bus ordered two years ago is expected to go into production in April, and that district staff plans to pull a new fiber‑optic line between buildings over spring break to improve broadband capacity.
The superintendent closed by asking trustees to stay tuned as staff gathers more information on TK funding and the wastewater project.
