# SIP Work Session 9 14 26

The Blaine School District Board of Directors’ work session on September 14, 2026, focused on the district and school improvement plans. Administrators described a five-year professional learning community initiative centered on aligned curriculum, essential standards, assessment, student interventions and extensions, equitable grading, and inclusive school culture. School leaders outlined literacy, mathematics, student self-management, and belonging goals, including plans to track assessment and behavior data and use it to guide support. The middle school also reported improved student safety survey results, and the high school discussed expanding academic extension opportunities.

Board members discussed resource needs, including more trained intervention staff, special education expertise, and support for early learning, while noting concerns about state funding. They also discussed whether a security or police officer presence on campus could support student safety and relationships; no selection or action was made. No contract awards, bids, purchases, dollar amounts, or procurement votes were identified.
