Additionally, the board received a detailed update on the district's multi-year construction projects funded by a recent referendum and Long-Term Facilities Maintenance (LTFM) funds, including project schedules, budgeting, and community communication strategies. The meeting concluded with committee reports covering specialized services, equity and inclusion efforts, and extracurricular activities.
