In a recent government meeting, significant developments were reported regarding school registration and upcoming events. Marisa, who oversees registration, successfully increased kindergarten enrollment by 10% compared to last year, bringing the total to 333 students. This positive turnout is expected to aid in budget discussions as the district prepares for its first official count in September and October.

The meeting also highlighted the upcoming school year, with staff orientation scheduled for tomorrow and the first day of school set for Thursday. Board members discussed future meetings, including a regular board meeting on September 9 and a school site visit at O'Fellow High School on September 16.

Community engagement was emphasized with two notable events: a kickoff barbecue hosted by the Fellowship of Christian Athletes on September 3 and a block party organized by the Nazarene Church on September 4, aimed at welcoming new students with food, school supplies, and activities.

Additionally, the board addressed the recent budget public comment meeting, which saw no public attendance, a trend consistent with previous years. The meeting concluded with a discussion on adjusting the football game schedule to avoid conflicts with local fair activities, demonstrating a commitment to accommodating students' needs.

The session wrapped up with a brief executive session to discuss employee performance, although no actions were taken. Overall, the meeting reflected a proactive approach to enhancing student enrollment and community involvement as the new school year approaches.
