Winter 2026

Winter has certainly made its presence known this year. The prolonged cold and challenging weather have tested all of us, and I want to sincerely thank our families, staff, and students for their patience and flexibility as we’ve navigated these conditions together. From snow, to cold mornings and icy afternoons, your understanding has been greatly appreciated.

I want to extend a huge shout-out to our Facilities and Transportation teams. Their behind-the-scenes work has been nothing short of outstanding; often starting well before dawn to ensure our buildings are ready to open and our students are transported safely each day. Their commitment and professionalism make a real difference for our entire school community, and I am grateful for all they do.

Construction across the district remains in full swing, with significant work scheduled to continue during February break. Once the snow melts, additional projects will begin outside, including work at Field 3, the bus garage, and a roof replacement at the high school campus. I also want to thank our community for your patience as we continue to host games, performances, and activities amid ongoing construction. Your support and understanding have allowed these important events to continue with minimal disruption.

Academically, we are now entering the second semester, and before we know it, June will be here. This is a time of renewed focus, growth, and opportunity for our students, and I am excited to see the progress that will be made in the months ahead.

We are also deep into the budget development process. With rising costs both at school and at home, coupled with less funding being received from the state, we face a budget gap that will require thoughtful reductions. Our approach will be deliberate and careful. We will use a scalpel, not a sledgehammer, as we work to balance our fiscal responsibilities with our commitment to students and programs.

Thank you, as always, for your continued support of our schools and one another. I wish you well as we work our way through these last couple of colder months, and I look forward to the warmer days ahead.

Thank you,

Christopher R. Brown, Ph.D.
Superintendent of Schools
