Superintendent Lennox presented the District Operational Plan for the 2025-2026 school year, detailing eight goals. Three goals were highlighted as priorities: expanding career pathway opportunities for high school students, developing a comprehensive district plan for outdoor learning classrooms and activities, and supporting the district's capital projects technology levy campaign. Other goals included expanding the student information system, strengthening employee onboarding, completing contract negotiations, conducting an updated enrollment and facility study (also a priority), and completing a district-wide energy audit. The board confirmed that these goals had been extensively discussed at a recent retreat and recommended their approval.
