These raises will begin in January 2026, pending budget approval.

Policy updates for vulnerable students

Two student support policies were updated:

  • Policy S-HOM, which supports students experiencing homelessness, was modified
  • Policy S-FOST, a new policy focused on students living in foster care, was created to better address their needs

School boundary decision

The Board approved Boundary Option 1 for the new elementary school being built on the Old Park Road site. This plan determines which neighborhoods the new school will serve and is designed to balance enrollment and support student success.

Equity committee members announced

The Board also announced new members for the Community Equity Committee, which advises on how to ensure fair and inclusive education for all CMS students.

New members will begin their roles on July 1.
