Price Field Decommission
As you may have seen, Price Field is currently being decommissioned. As a reminder, this is because the stadium was in dire need of structural and electrical updates due to safety reasons. Thanks to our community, we were able to instead use those funds to assist with the construction of the new Tiger Stadium at RHS. This also allowed for RMS games and activities to be moved to the field at that building. For the time being, Price Field will serve as green space for Price Elementary, and is being considered as a site to fulfill future district facility needs.

During the "student spotlight" section, Lyon Elementary shared how they are strategically supporting all students to foster growth! This model is called Response to Intervention and can be seen across the district. Lyon refers to this as What I Need or WIN time. Simply, it is a time to meet students where they are with specific learning goals to address strengths and weaknesses. To learn more, check out the video to the left.
Following these highlights the
MSBA monthly report was viewed, and CTA representative, Amanda Hamilton provided an update from the group. A report can be seen on BoardDocs.
RHS Principal, Tyler Overstreet and his team presented information on the practice and formal ACT assessment given at RHS. In addition, Superintendent of Schools, Dr. Chance Wistrom provided a monthly update to the Board regarding facilities, elementary boundaries, state assessment activity, finance and district highlights.
Full administrative reports can be found on BoardDocs.
There were no individual discussion items on the agenda. The Board did take one action, which was to rescind the currently approved 2019-20 school calendar due to new legislative action.
The next regular meeting will take place on February 21 at 7:00 p.m.
