Summary
The board recognized multiple teachers across grade levels and named Stephanie Livengood elementary teacher of the year and Madison Stevens new teacher of the year; several teachers were called out for leadership in ESL, science, math and band.
The board paused its regular business to recognize teachers districtwide and to present Teacher of the Year and New Teacher of the Year awards.
The nut graf: The district presented Stephanie Livengood, an elementary ESL teacher, as elementary Teacher of the Year and Madison Stevens, a first/second grade teacher, as New Teacher of the Year; multiple other teachers were honored for excellence in instruction and district leadership.
Dr. Lewis presented the elementary award and praised Stephanie Livengood for her work with multilingual learners: "She personifies the energy that I want people to feel when they come in our building," he said. Madison Stevens was named new teacher of the year for work in early grades and classroom leadership.
The meeting also recognized Elizabeth Boyd (8th‑grade math), a 7th grade social studies teacher identified as Miss Kamen, Carly Spears (science lead at the high school), and Emily Allen (band) for classroom leadership, district contributions and student engagement. Board members and administrators thanked the winners and noted the teachers’ roles in student achievement, extra‑curricular supervision and community engagement.
Ending: The board took photos and publicly thanked all nominees; no formal action was required or taken.
