The Board reviewed a presentation on the transition from a trimester to a semester schedule, which was ultimately approved by the board. Additionally, the meeting highlighted student achievements, particularly recognizing Excelsior students from Millwood Elementary. The board also reviewed improvements in student attendance, attributed in part to the efforts of the truancy officer, Jermaine Jackson, who has been instrumental in reducing chronic absenteeism. The meeting concluded with updates on various school events and a call to action regarding recent educational policy changes at the federal level.
