The Board of Education meeting held on May 12, 2025, highlighted several key developments that resonate with the local community, particularly in the areas of student achievement and staff feedback.

One of the most notable discussions centered around the recognition of student musicians and the dedicated educators in the music department, who have achieved top rankings in their field. This acknowledgment not only celebrates individual accomplishments but also underscores the importance of arts education in fostering talent and creativity among students.

In addition to celebrating student success, the board invited the community to a special recognition event on May 16 at Milton High School. This event will honor Dennis Campion and Jim Carwoody, two alumni who have been long-time supporters of youth athletics. The evening will feature a community tailgate organized by the local FFA chapter, followed by a baseball game, creating an opportunity for residents to come together and support local initiatives.

The meeting also addressed the results of the annual staff survey, which has shown increasing participation over the years. A key metric discussed was the Net Promoter Score (NPS), which measures staff willingness to recommend the school district to others. This year, the district achieved an NPS of 28, indicating a positive trend, as scores above zero are considered good. The school and department NPS score reached an impressive 37, reflecting strong support among staff for the district's initiatives.

These discussions not only highlight the achievements within the school district but also emphasize the importance of community involvement and feedback in shaping educational experiences. As the board prepares for future workshops to delve deeper into survey results, the focus remains on enhancing the educational environment for both students and staff, ultimately benefiting the entire community.
