Superintendent highlights annual report, rising‑freshman events, arts season and teacher recruitment
Summary
The superintendent summarized the district’s recent outreach and events, posted its annual report online, and previewed a short video highlighting the district’s theme “We Hear.”
The superintendent delivered the district report at the March 12 meeting, summarizing outreach, student events, and recruitment efforts.
The superintendent said the district’s annual report was posted online under the “About Us” tab and highlighted a three‑minute video titled “We Hear” (described as “Hear, Engaged, Approachable, Renewed”) that features board members and students; staff said the video will be posted to YouTube and shared on social media.
The superintendent recounted rising freshman orientation nights held at Great Mills, Chopticon and Leonardtown high schools with full auditoriums, and described Reading Across America activities including visits by the sheriff’s office and administrators to read to elementary students.
Athletics and arts were highlighted: the superintendent noted state wrestling champions at Leonardtown and Great Mills high schools and previewed multiple upcoming school theater productions (including a production at Great Mills, Leonardtown’s production and a later show at Chopticon). Staff urged community attendance to support student performers and crews.
On staffing and recruitment, the superintendent said the district will host a Teacher Pipeline Summit with Tri‑County partners at the University System of Southern Maryland and a teacher job fair at Captain Walter Francis Duke Elementary School on March 29; the superintendent said candidates for high‑need areas such as special education may be offered contracts on the spot.
The superintendent also noted ongoing budget work sessions and said the board should stay tuned for potential decisions as county and state funding remain unsettled.
