Summary

Trustees read a series of written recognitions thanking teachers and staff for classroom leadership, counseling support, organizing a book fair and student learning gains on I-Ready.

Board members read a series of written "kudos" recognizing staff and teachers across the district. Speakers (including a reader identified as Mrs. Fyro and comments from President Sterling) relayed letters of appreciation that named employees and volunteers for contributions such as classroom leadership, support of social-work services, documenting student progress and organizing the Scholastic Book Fair.

Named recipients and senders included Avery Shelton (from Michelle Lang), Karen Lowour (from Ariel or Arrow Brown), Michelle Carr (from Michelle Lang), Rachel Lane, Carrie Herd, Hannah Learge, Kelly Gaus, Deb Lache and others. One announcement congratulated Johnny Bosskowski for students exceeding typical annual growth expectations in both math and reading on I-Ready assessments.

These recognitions were presented as community and staff appreciation during the meeting; the transcript does not record separate follow-up actions tied to these recognitions.
