Summary
The Millard Public Schools board unanimously approved a two‑year negotiated agreement with the Millard Education Association, hired Tyler McGee as assistant principal at Central Middle School, and awarded Albireo Energy a $165,164 contract to replace controls at Hitchcock Elementary.
At its March 2 meeting the Millard Public Schools Board of Education approved several routine personnel and policy items, finalized a two‑year negotiated agreement with the Millard Education Association (MEA), and awarded a facilities contract.
A board member moved to approve the negotiated agreement for teachers and nurses with the Millard Education Association for the 2026–27 and 2027–28 school years and to authorize the superintendent or designee to execute related documents; the motion passed by roll call. A member who spoke in support of the agreement praised both negotiation teams and said the two‑year term helps the district budget more effectively: “Having this for 2 years will help us budget,” the board member said.
The board also approved the hire of Tyler McGee as assistant principal at Central Middle School. The motion to hire McGee was made, seconded, and approved by roll call. McGee stood, introduced family members and Central Middle School administrative teammates present, and thanked the board for the opportunity.
On facilities, the board authorized awarding the Hitchcock Elementary School controls replacement contract to Albireo Energy in the amount of $165,164 and directed the chief financial officer to execute related documents. District staff said Albireo had provided ad‑hoc assistance on prior projects but this award was the firm’s first successful bid on a district contract. Board members noted the value of expanding the contractor pool for future bids.
During routine business the board also approved several policy updates and reaffirmations related to human resources and student services, including rule 4,510.15 (pre‑retirement planning programs), rules 5,600.1/5,600.3/5,600.4/5,600.6 (student injury/illness, physical examinations and immunizations, contagious disease procedures, student health procedures), and reaffirmed rule 5,900.5 (safe student transportation plan). All motions were approved by roll‑call vote as presented.
What’s next: The superintendent or designee is authorized to execute documents related to the MEA agreement and the Hitchcock contract; staff will implement approved rule changes and return to the board as needed.
