Millard board approves new administrators, adopts performance-report policy and awards facility contracts
Summary
The Millard School Board voted to hire four administrators, approved policy 6305 on the annual performance report and awarded multiple facility contracts including intercom replacements and secure-vestibule renovations.
The Millard School Board approved multiple personnel appointments, adopted a district annual performance policy and awarded a set of facility contracts during its January meeting.
Board members voted to approve the hire of Dr. Todd Bridal as assistant superintendent for educational services; Dr. Heather Dobbert as a middle-school principal; Dr. Nicole Burton as coordinator for English learners and summer programming; and Eric Grandinette as director of strategic projects and external affairs. The board also approved Policy 6305, “Annual Performance Report,” in a second reading and passed several construction and safety-related contracts for school buildings.
Why it matters: the hires place new administrators in positions that will manage curriculum, English-learning services, summer programs and external affairs as the district moves forward with a bond outreach campaign and planned facility work. The contracts approve upgrades that district staff said are priorities for safety, communications and building maintenance.

Board members and staff speaking during votes emphasized fiscal oversight and project sequencing. The superintendent noted that some projects were timed to use earlier bond dollars where possible so larger future renovations would not require undoing recent work.
Ending: The approved hires and facility contracts move the district toward planned safety, accessibility and communications upgrades. The board placed the minutes and bills on file and received the treasurer’s report as part of its regular business.
