As we enter the second semester, we look forward to gathering more structured feedback and making small adjustments that will allow us to support additional students and further strengthen relationships across the building.

Holiday Celebration:
Our annual holiday celebration was a great success, featuring a magician at the Coggon Opera House sponsored by the Coggon Library. Students in grades PK–8 enjoyed an engaging and high-quality performance that brought a lot of excitement to the day. A special thank you goes to Counselor Sarah Meyer for her extensive planning and coordination to make this event possible.

Individualized Student Plans:
Staff continue to make steady progress on the state-required Math and Reading Individual Plans for students. Our most recent Professional Development days have been dedicated to "Intervention Analysis", giving teachers time to review data, refine intervention strategies, and make necessary adjustments to better support the specific needs within their classrooms. This focus ensures we are providing targeted and effective instruction for all learners.

MOTION to approve the district’s administration to submit a request to the School Budget Review Committee for a Modified Supplemental Amount of $15,194 increased enrollment and $69,135 for open enrolled out students who were not included in the district’s previous year certified enrollment count.

Each year we are allowed to request authority for increased enrollment and for students who are open enrolled out this year that were not on our student count last year. With certified enrollment complete, our enrollment increased by *1.9* students so we are eligible to ask for $7997 per student for a total of $15,194.30. There were 8.10 students open enrolled out that were not on the previous years count; we are able to request $7988 per student for a total of $69,135.

The School Board Review Committee’s (SBRC) Modified Allowable Growth (MAG) for returning dropouts and dropout prevention programs is a means of raising funds to support our local programs, services and personnel to assist our at-risk students K-12. These funds are used to help offset costs associated with our district guidance counselors, supplies for our at-risk students, and skills group time for our elementary students.  In order to continue these supports for our at-risk population, I am requesting that the Directors approve our Modified Allowable Growth (MAG) for FY27.

Before January 15th, the district will need to complete a budget dropout prevention services requested for state approval.  Kerry and I will meet to complete and submit this application.  The maximum amount we can ask for is $112,038.
