What board members said

I had a question on how you were doing your enrollment. Um, do you base it on your kindergarten enrollment for the projection of the size moving forward, or do you do it off of births and count it into preschool, then kindergarten?Susan ProvanceMember · Springfield R-XII School District Board of Education · Jun 23, 2026Watch the full meeting from 1:25:12
My question is related to Susan's a little bit. I was thinking about trying to figure out capacity and enrollment and the impact of the state legislation with regards to open enrollment and school vouchers and how that— and the tax base and how that plays a role and how do you take that into account.Shurita Thomas-TateMember · Springfield R-XII School District Board of Education · Jun 23, 2026Watch the full meeting from 1:26:31
On the map · Phones in school

December 16, 2025

The board discussed phones in school.

Its first meeting on phones in the year we read. A faint dot on the map: we had read too few of its earlier meetings to call it new.
