Parents and staff raise concerns about Expanded Learning Program oversight and special day class changes

Two speakers used the public comment period to press the board for operational fixes. Parent Samantha Barbour Koontz said she was concerned about student pick-up procedures and perceived leadership problems in the Expanded Learning Program and asked the board to reinstate the parent advisory committee. District employee Devin Baum raised oversight questions about after-school sports — specifically sixth-grade students competing alongside middle-school students — and cited reassignments in special day classes, including changes to the school psychologist role and the elimination of a vice principal position at Sycamore Canyon.
