Craven County Schools recognized as Purple Star District for fifth consecutive year
Summary
Craven County Schools told attendees it earned the Purple Star designation from the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction for the fifth year running, citing military-family supports such as dedicated school military points of contact and a partnership with MCAS Cherry Point.
Craven County Schools announced at its Spring Awards Night that the district has been designated a Purple Star District by the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction for the fifth consecutive year.
The presenter said the district's designation reflects several initiatives intended to support military-connected students: dedicated military points of contact at each school to assist families with transitions, staff training on social-emotional and academic needs of military children, student-led transition groups that foster peer connections, and an ongoing partnership with MCAS Cherry Point to streamline communication and resources.
The presenter invited principals and Jody Scoggins, the district's Military Liaison Counselor, to the stage to receive recognition tied to those efforts. The transcript records the district describing these initiatives as part of the district's plan to provide stability, resources and community for military families.
The announcement was celebratory in tone and was presented as recognition of ongoing supports rather than new policy actions. No new directives or board votes related to the Purple Star designation were recorded during the awards program.
