What happened

Travis Hall introduced himself to the board as Chief Kanim’s new principal. He said the school will focus on math and English language arts growth and addressing chronic absenteeism, which he described as 28%.

Why it matters to families

A principal leads school operations and instructional priorities, so this leadership change affects the direction of Chief Kanim Middle School.

The evidence

In the Oct. 22, 2026 board-meeting transcript, Hall states, “I’m Travis Hall, the new principal at Chief Kanim” ([01:17:27]); he then outlines school goals and reports a 28% chronic absenteeism rate ([01:18:35–01:19:32]).
