In a recent government meeting, the approval of minutes from previous sessions was swiftly addressed, with no edits noted for the June 10th and August 13th public and non-public minutes. The motion to approve these minutes was unanimously passed.

Principal Fakch provided an optimistic report on the opening weeks of the school year, highlighting a successful start with the welcoming of new staff members, including paraprofessionals Reggie Zirkle, Patricia Weber, Katie Meir, and part-time staff Jen Durban. This marks a significant improvement in staffing levels, with only two paraprofessional positions remaining unfilled, a notable achievement given the ongoing challenges in recruitment.

The school community has also seen an influx of new students, with 19 kindergarteners joining, alongside additional students in higher grades. The principal shared details of a meet-and-greet event that allowed families to connect with teachers, supported by the PTO, which provided a Kona ice truck for refreshments. The school kicked off the year with a \"cool convention\" to welcome new staff and students, followed by a successful ice cream social hosted by the PTO.

As of August 26, 2024, the school reported a total enrollment of 111 students across various grades, with kindergarten leading at 15 students. The principal expressed enthusiasm for the year ahead, noting the positive spirits of both students and staff.
