No remarks at this time.

Mrs. Hanson discussed the Student Code of Conduct and suggested it may be time for the Board to review the document. She noted a previous conversation regarding the possibility of separating the Code of Conduct into two levels, elementary and secondary, to make the information clearer and easier for families to understand.  Mrs. Hanson also addressed student behavior in classrooms and how it effects teachers.  She is aware changes are needed.

Mrs. Hanson also responded to public comments made this evening regarding the Board. She cited several instances in which the board has demonstrated support for district initiatives and emphasized the importance of collaboration moving forward. She encouraged continued cooperation between the board and the district, particularly regarding the 1 mil initiative.

Mr. Alvero discussed student transportation and emphasized the importance of ensuring students have safe transportation to and from school. He noted that recent budget cuts have impacted transportation services and stated that although he did not agree with those reductions, they were made due to budget constraints. He expressed interest in revisiting transportation services, particularly for elementary students.

Mrs. Skipper asked the Superintendent to elaborate on the transportation analysis and the number of students affected. Mr. Broskie reported that fourteen additional routes would be needed to expand services, noting that eligibility was adjusted to two miles in accordance with state statute. Adding routes without additional staff would reduce service to other students. Discussion included state guidelines for hazardous walking conditions, available applications on the district website, and the courtesy rider process for students who do not meet statutory requirements. It was noted that additional bus drivers would help address these limitations.

Mrs. Skipper and Mrs. Hanson reiterated their involvement in transportation changes, discussions and the multiple steps taken to address concerns.

Mrs. Gilhousen recognized Mrs. Bonnie O'Nora on the occasion of her retirement and expressed appreciation for her many years of service and contributions to the district.

Mrs. Skipper also recognized Mrs. O'Nora for her years of service to the Board. She further commented regarding the launch of the district's new K9 program with the Clay County Sheriff's Office. She noted the program has had a successful start and expressed optimism about its positive impact moving forward. She also extended appreciation to Mr. Boyak, Director of Safety of Security and his Department for their work on the initiative and reminded everyone to enjoy the upcoming Spring Break.
