The District is preparing to make significant decisions about SBG at Field for the 2026–2027 school year. Parents need to show up, listen, and make their voices heard.​

​

• Public comment is limited to the first 30 minutes of the Board meeting. Each speaker is limited to 3 minutes, and you must arrive before 7:00 PM to sign in and secure a speaking slot.
• At this meeting, Administration is expected to present its plan for the next phase of SBG at Field. That plan may include:
  • A full hybrid SBG rollout for 6th grade
    This approach has already been tried and did not work. There has been no clear explanation of how the prior issues will be fixed, and teachers are on summer break when much of this planning and preparation would need to happen
  • Moving all grades to semester report cards
    This would reduce parent visibility into student progress from four formal updates per year to only two. Field has historically used quarterly report cards. In a year when SBG remains new, unclear, and unresolved for many families and staff, the District should be increasing transparency — not reducing it.​
  • Expanding SBG to 7th grade in some form                                                                                                                                 The District has indicated that SBG may expand to 7th grade, but it remains unclear what that expansion will look like, how teachers will be supported, and how families will receive clear, consistent information about student progress.

This is an important moment. Decisions made now will directly affect students, teachers, families, grading, communication, and transparency next school year. Please attend the Board meeting and consider sharing a public comment.
