Principal reports HIV self-assessment shows strong scores and areas for improvement
Summary
Middle school principal Meg O’Mara told the board the district’s 2024–25 HIV self-assessment showed the schools exceeded expectations in four of eight indicators and reported an overall score described in the presentation as 78 points (verbalized as equivalent to 92%), while noting website reporting and other clarifications as areas for improvement.
Meg O’Mara, the district’s middle school principal and anti-bullying coordinator, presented the district’s annual HIV self-assessment for the 2024–25 school year.
O’Mara told the board the district exceeded expectations in four of eight assessment categories, including curriculum instruction on HIV-related information and investigation procedures. She said the district’s score increased by one point in an indicator related to school initiatives at both schools, citing supplemental programs such as the Heart of Hornet Club at the elementary school and the Lead from the Front program at the middle school.
In her presentation, O’Mara described an overall point total the presentation identified as 78 points and verbally characterized the result as equivalent to 92 percent, a two-point increase from the previous year. She also identified opportunities for improvement, including adding a more detailed explanation of results to the district website to make the findings clearer to the public.
O’Mara described the assessment as a helpful tool to intentionally improve programs and procedures for students; the board moved on to other business after the presentation.
