Millersburg pauses day‑treatment licensing; district wins Ned Smith Center grant
Summary
The district paused efforts to obtain a license for a day‑treatment program because of building update and ADA requirements; separately, the Ned Smith Center was awarded a grant to provide free nature and arts programming to district students in 2026.
District leaders told the board they will pause efforts to obtain a license to operate a day‑treatment program after reviewing application requirements, required building updates and communications with the Department of Human Services.
Administrators said the principal hurdle was potential building renovations and ADA compliance that would be necessary to meet licensing standards. The district will stop pursuing the license until it can identify a suitable site and funding for required updates.
Separately, the board heard that the Ned Smith Center applied for and was awarded a grant to provide free nature and arts programming to Millersburg schools in 2026. The center will work with district staff to provide classroom‑level activities, grade‑level field days for middle‑school students and support for science objectives at the high school.
Administrators also briefed the board on student transportation options for career‑tech (DC Tech) students; door‑to‑door transportation offers were available for families that requested the service.
The district also reviewed library trust activity: the Johnson Library Trust discussed ordering books, reviewed its finances and raised preliminary estimates for lobby updates at the Johnson Memorial Library; trustees requested cost estimates before the board approves capital spending.
