Board discusses expanding 'vector' and other student support programs for grades 6–12

Cascade SD 5 Board of Education · July 14, 2025

Summary

After executive-session follow-up, the superintendent and new HR director said the district will explore expanding the district's 'vector' program and other supports for grades 6–12, building on existing K–5 Second Step curriculum.

Superintendent Darren Drill and new HR director Jay Weekes told the board they are following up on an executive‑session discussion by exploring expansion of the district's "vector" program and additional supports for middle‑ and high‑school students.

Drill said the district already uses Second Step for kindergarten through fifth grade and wants to consider what else can be added for grades 6–12. Weekes and building principals have discussed approaches for implementing supports within available time, including using late‑start or district meeting time for training and curriculum work.

No formal program approval or funding decision was made at the meeting; board members were informed that the administrators will continue planning and bring proposals back for future consideration.
