Millington Municipal Schools celebrated a significant milestone at the August 4 Board of Education meeting, highlighting the employment of 71 alumni within the district. This achievement underscores the district's commitment to fostering local talent and bringing back former students to contribute to their community.

In addition to this positive news, the board concluded an investigation into the Millington Primary PTO, finding no violations of policy 5.601. However, the board acknowledged the need for improvements in handling parent complaints and plans to enhance policy 5.501 to provide clearer guidance for parents.

The meeting also featured updates on the ongoing construction of the Millington Intermediate School, with officials confirming that the project remains on schedule. Collaboration with city leaders continues, particularly in hiring a School Resource Officer (SRO) for the Millington Educational Learning Academy, ensuring safety and support for students.

As the new school year approaches, starting August 6, the district is urging the community to be mindful of traffic changes around schools, emphasizing safety for students returning to class. With nearly full staffing and a focus on academic progress, Millington Municipal Schools is poised for a successful year ahead.
