Board approves OE‑10 monitoring report showing improved safety perceptions but lingering disproportionality

District staff presented the OE‑10 monitoring report on student learning environments and behavior, reporting improved student perceptions of safety and reductions in some behavior metrics while acknowledging persistent disproportionality in disciplinary data.

Administrators said student perception of safety rose for older students, citing a jump from 66.4% to 75.4% among 12th graders in survey responses, and described a 100% compliance rate with mandatory staff training linked to behavior and safety protocols. At the same time, staff acknowledged that students with disabilities and Black and Hispanic students remain over‑represented in behavioral log entries and suspensions, and the board asked for raw event counts in addition to percentages to ensure sample‑size clarity.

The board discussed the district’s use of restorative practices, multi‑level systems of support (MLSS/MTSS) and improved data systems to guide targeted interventions. After discussion and a motion, trustees voted that OE‑10 met expectations. The meeting record shows a voice vote; individual tallies were not specified in the transcript.
