Each person addressing the Board shall give his/her name and address. If several people wish to speak, each person is allotted three (3) minutes until the total time of 30 minutes is used.

Minutes

  1. Chuck Tackett (Resident):  Raised concerns about the proposed building project, specifically pointing out that student enrollment has decreased which possibly does not justify the new building and overall cost factors.    
  2. Jarrod Stuart (Resident):  Inquired about past Booster Groups Wish List and suggested looking into expanding the current weight room facility to accommodate the wrestling program.  
  3. An audience member stated that these community members have valid questions; however,  was thankful for the Board listening to the community and appreciates the board's work for the district.

The Board thanked community members for their input at tonight's meeting. 

The Multi-Purpose Facility and STEM Labs Design Plans Reveal is set for Thursday, June 18, 2025, from 5-7:30 p.m.  The community is invited to join district leaders and our architectural team from Garmann Miller to explore design plans.  A chance to see layouts, ask questions, and envision the impact on our students and community.  Notice of the event was issued via the June/July CrestView newsletter, a separate postcard mailing and social media pages.  Although delivery issues were encountered with the postcard bulk mailing, community notification was successfully achieved through the district website posting of the newsletter on June 5, 2026, and the CrestView newsletter distribution received by residents on June 10, 2026.

7. Reports to the Board

Superintendent's Report

Minutes

Superintendent Jim Grubbs gave a report

Human Resources Update

Recruitment and Staffing

  • Intervention Specialist Recruitment: The district is actively seeking to fill two critical middle school positions (6th and 7th grade). While we initially had three vacancies, the district is strategically reducing staff through attrition and will not be seeking to fill the third position.  Our applicant pool remains thin, and we are actively strategizing to ensure we continue to serve our students effectively with our current staff.
  • Middle School Scheduling: Thanks to the work of Mr. Kinnard and Mrs. Barker, a new schedule for the 2026-2027 school year has been redesigned. Through their efforts, we have successfully optimized our staff allocation to maximize instructional time with students.  A significant improvement in this new model is the reduction of daily Collaboration time from approximately 50 minutes to 20 minutes, directly increasing student instructional time.

Facilities & Summer Projects - In-Progress & Ongoing 

  • Concrete Work: We expect concrete improvements across the district to commence this week.
  • Elementary Flooring: This project is progressing well.  Most of the old tile removal has been removed, and new materials are expected to arrive today (Tuesday, June 16, 2026). The project is notably on schedule for the first time in three summers.  I would like to commend the flooring contractor for their efficiency.
  • Electrical, Safety, & Security: BCU Electric finalized backup generator connections for all technology closets, building offices, and the central office.
  • Middle School Doors: JNB Acoustics completed the installation of new doors that further bolstering our building safety and security infrastructure.
  • District Auction: An auction to clear out unused district assets is running and concludes tonight.
  • Playground Improvements: New swing sets have been ordered. Because installation might bleed into the upcoming school year, the district is coordinating with the vendor to install them on a Saturday or a professional development day.
  • High School Hot Water: Standard Plumbing successfully upgraded the high school hot water tank.
  • Middle School: Custodial staff is well underway with deep cleaning and preparing rooms for new furniture.
  • Elementary School: Because of the ongoing flooring project and restricted hallways, staff are utilizing a "shuffle" method—cleaning and preparing one side of a classroom at a time—to keep moving forward.
  • High School: Summer cleaning is on track according to the standard schedule.
  • High School HVAC: Standard Plumbing was unable to secure the necessary equipment for the high school office and library units. As a result, we are returning to the drawing board.  Given the extensive nature of the work - which requires removing a large portion of ceiling tile in two hallways - we do no have sufficient time to complete this before the school year begins, the project has been delayed to Summer 2027.

Student Recognition

The following student achievements will be celebrated at the July Board Meeting:

  • Spring Sports Recognition:  We are planning to recognize our high school student-athletes for their spring season accomplishments.
  • Pioneer Career Center Achievement:  A student from our district who attends Pioneer Career and Technology Center has earned the prestigious Carmine Scholarship award of $1,000.
