PONDERAY — At the Lake Pend Oreille School District board meeting Tuesday, trustees reviewed revisions of policy and authorized Forrest M. Bird Charter School to operate for another five years.

The board conducted first readings of policies for public works contracting and procurement and public procurement of goods and services. Both are being changed to reflect updates to state code, said Brian Wallace, chief finance officer for LPOSD.

During the superintendent’s report, Dr. Becky Meyer updated the board on the district’s literacy program. Meyer shared that LPOSD is committed to listening to every student read. She also shared statistics about improved assessment scores across the district and introduced a staff wellness program that started in November with a turkey step challenge, which encourages staff to log steps.
