Superintendent Dr. Carrie Cannon and Assistant Superintendent Monica Kegerreis used the board meeting to highlight recent student achievements and district academic performance. Dr. Cannon noted that spring sports are underway and praised the high school fine arts programs for their student talent.
Monica Kegerreis reported that numerous band students are representing Fairfield at the state level and described a classroom literacy victory: Mrs. Groff's third-grade class at Millersburg Elementary won the 'Read to the Final Four' challenge, traveled to Indianapolis during spring break for the announcement, and the class received a $3,000 check; three students also won bikes and each student received a pair of shoes. "Great job!" Kegerreis said in the minutes.
Kegerreis and Michelle Griffin attended the Indiana Department of Education Literacy Achievement Celebration at the statehouse on April 8, 2026. The minutes also report that all three elementary schools scored above 95% on the 2025 IREAD-3 assessment, a metric the district highlighted during the meeting.
The board's recognition of arts and literacy achievements was recorded without discussion of additional programming or funding in the minutes; the meeting moved on to routine consent and action items after the reports.
