- Send note to parents; as a high school, there will be issues; reached breaking point due to open communication; students forthcoming with information
- one student potential long-term suspension; keep him off campus for rest of the year; will work with helping him complete studies (school given plenty of opportunities to redeem/correct his behavior)
- Board to help put together a Committee to officially go through the process; Schedule next week to the extent possible as required
- Board requested CSO to forward communication sent to parents to the Board (to be kept in the loop) or to copy the Board in real time
- spike in bad behavior; administrative team active in curbing; culture of no tolerance for such behavior
- one student with psychological behavior; hospitalized; potential consumption of some substance but no evidence; could be due to other reasons (10-day suspension)
- teacher leaving now means hire teacher in the middle of the year; interview scheduled to hire another person; fairly high level class (Honor Math 3);
