The meeting also touched on the success of summer programs, with positive feedback on staff development initiatives focused on reading and dyslexia intervention training for teachers. The next board meeting is scheduled for August 28, coinciding with the first day back for teachers.
Overall, the meeting underscored the district's commitment to enhancing student support and improving educational outcomes as the new school year approaches.
