Superintendent previews goals, survey results and referendum outreach; facilities communications under way

Superintendent Elmos summarized year-end superintendent goals and previewed planning for the next year, highlighted the district perception survey results, and encouraged community members to use the district's "Let's Chat" feature for referendum questions.

Elmos said the district received "996 staff responses" and "5,170 student responses" to the perception survey; the transcript records parent responses as "1,54," which is not fully legible in the record. He said staff will use the survey results as one data point when setting board and superintendent goals for the coming year. Elmos also pointed out NFC keychains produced by Director Franen that link to the facilities planning website, and he encouraged board members and community members to use that tool to access planning materials and the FAQ page.

Director Weiss reported that the facilities committee met June 1 and is moving forward with outreach materials (flyers, NFC keychains, FAQs) and noted a resolution to authorize referendum-related action is expected by Aug. 11. The committee also briefly discussed the long-term facilities maintenance plan, which the board reviewed at this meeting.

Why it matters: The superintendent's report sets the administrative priorities the board will use when drafting goals and makes public the district's plans for community outreach ahead of a facilities/ referendum process. The committee's Aug. 11 target signals a timeline for formal authorization or ballot-related steps.

Record details and caveats: Survey numbers are reported in the transcript but the parent-response figure is truncated in the record; the NFC keychains were described as containing an NFC tag that links directly to the planning website; committee members discussed communications and community events leading into the November election cycle. The transcript contains no detailed fiscal figures tied to referendum programming in this segment.
