The board governs school boundaries and closures, budgets, construction, district policy, major instructional contracts, and superintendent leadership.

Nichols closure

The board approved closing Nichols Elementary and sending its students to Ora L. Roby Elementary.

Boundary changes

The full realignment proposal affected 709 students, about 5.23% of district enrollment reported in the meeting record.

Leadership

Meeting records contain extensive attachments, but the public archive begins just after the trailing-year boundary and the district website blocked separate policy discovery.
