The board met to discuss the budget for the 2026-2027 school year regarding other funds and reviewed planning initiatives for the upcoming 2027 legislative session.

This document outlines a Home-School Partnership Plan aimed at fostering lifelong learners by engaging families and the community. It details specific focus areas for Grades K-2 and Grades 3-5, encompassing ELA/SLA, Math, and Social/Emotional development. The plan outlines how families can support learning at home through activities like sight word practice, reading aloud, math facts, and community engagement, and includes strategies for staff to enhance family capacity.

This plan outlines the strategies for parent and family engagement for Pioneer Middle School under the Title I, Part A program. It emphasizes collaborative development, annual meetings, clear communication, and a school-parent compact to enhance student academic achievement. Key initiatives include involving parents in funding decisions, coordinating with community partners, and building capacity for both parents and school staff to foster effective partnerships and support students' educational progress.

The meeting includes a personnel report, accounts payable and payroll approvals, and a review of the Head Start budget amendment and new grant application. Other items involve delegating authority to the WIAA and several recognition ceremonies for 'Building Belonging' participants, partners of the year, and state champion student groups. Furthermore, the meeting includes student representative reports, reports from the Board and Superintendent, an enrollment report, and a presentation on the upcoming budget.

This Home-School Partnership Plan is a collaborative agreement between Garrison Middle School families, students, and staff, designed to ensure all students achieve Targeted Promise Standards 6-8. The plan focuses on three core areas: ensuring all students read at grade level by the end of 8th grade, making all students algebra-ready by the end of 8th grade, and fostering social-emotional development through positive relationships. It outlines specific actions for families at home, strategies for staff to support family capacity, and commitments from students to reach proficiency in identified standards.
