6–12 principal reports smooth start, cell-phone policy met little resistance

Whitehall School District Board · September 5, 2024

Summary

The 6–12 report said staff continuity and new courses have produced a positive start. The middle-school cell-phone policy drew one parent complaint but otherwise has been accepted; the principal highlighted new dual-credit and Native American studies offerings.

The 6–12 presenter, addressed in the meeting as "mister Slater," said the 6–12 "is off to a good start" and noted the district retained most staff with only one net new hire. He discussed professional development from a national principals conference and credited staff for preparing the buildings for the new year.

On the middle-school cell-phone policy, Slater said, "The amount of pushback, I anticipated a lot. Hardly any. One parent...was upset about that." He also described curriculum additions including dual-credit math and English, a Native American studies elective, and expanded FCS offerings. Those items were informational; the board did not vote on them at this meeting.
