The board will receive a presentation on the 2026-2027 Targeted Improvement Plans and Turnaround Plans. Such plans, often driven by state or federal accountability requirements, can be vehicles for implementing significant changes to curriculum, discipline policies, and school culture, potentially including SEL or DEI-aligned frameworks.

Public Comment Rules Require Pre-Registration
📅 November 17, 2026
Board policy requires citizens to sign up to speak at the Superintendent’s office by 5:00 p.m. on the day of the meeting and pre-submit all materials. This procedure can serve as a barrier to public participation for parents and community members who cannot visit the office during business hours.
