The Mifflin County School Board made significant strides in enhancing educational and community services during their meeting on September 25, 2025. The board unanimously approved several key agreements that will directly benefit students and local residents.

First, the board endorsed an interdistrict agreement for non-public Title I services with Sacred Heart School for the 2025-2026 school year. This agreement aims to provide essential educational support to students in need, ensuring equitable access to resources.

In another important decision, the board voted to exonerate Midland County Treasurer Diane Griffith from collecting rollback taxes on a specific parcel. This decision was made with the understanding that the affected party had been misinformed about their tax obligations. The board emphasized that this move would ultimately support local first responders, highlighting the community-oriented approach of the decision.

Additionally, the board approved an agreement with the Midland County Emergency Management Agency to utilize school facilities as mass care centers during disasters for the upcoming school year. This proactive measure aims to enhance community preparedness and response capabilities in times of crisis.

Lastly, the board greenlit an outdoor school program for fifth-grade students at Indian Valley Intermediate School, scheduled for October 2025 at Camp Blue Diamond. This initiative is designed to provide students with enriching experiences outside the classroom, promoting personal growth and teamwork.

These decisions reflect the board's commitment to improving educational opportunities and community welfare, setting a positive trajectory for the school district and its stakeholders.
