  • School Choice Window: The 2026 school choice application window is open from January 1 to June 1, 2026.
  • Safety & Quality Assurance: Following the construction issues, the board is focusing on ensuring the project meets safety standards.
  • Counseling Plan Review: The district is reviewing its comprehensive school counseling program for the 2025-2026 school year.
