There is a 300 word limit. Please note that all written comments submitted will be made available to the public unless they breach decorum or the rules set forth in policy BDDH. Please remember, public comments can only be made about items on the current meetings agenda.I am asking the Klamath Falls City School District Board to explain why Mills Elementary and Ponderosa Middle School were selected for the KFCNES model and why students at these schools are required to attend longer school days and additional school days. These two schools serve some of the district’s highest percentages of minority students, as well as significant populations of students with disabilities. This raises an important question: Why were these two schools selected, and did student demographics play any role in that decision? To parents and students, requiring these schools to attend longer hours and more days can feel like a punishment for attending a school identified as needing improvement. If additional instructional time is necessary, why is this burden being placed on these particular students and families? I also have serious concerns about the decision-making process. Why were parents not given a meaningful opportunity to understand, discuss, and provide input before the Board voted to approve KFCNES on May 18, 2026? A parent/community town hall was requested before the vote, yet the district’s large-scale public presentation occurred after the Board had already approved the model. Parents should not learn about major changes to their children’s education after the decision has already been made. I respectfully ask the Board: What objective criteria were used to select Mills and Ponderosa? Why were other schools not selected? What evidence supports longer hours and additional school days? Were impacts on working families, childcare, transportation, students with disabilities, and family schedules considered? Did race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, or disability status factor into the selection? Why was parent input not obtained before the vote?Please select one that most describes your affiliation with the district.Parent of a KFCS studentHow will you be attending the board meeting?In-personBy my initials below I acknowledge that I have read and understood the above policies and procedures in its entirety and agree to abide by them.
