Hardyston schools report improved HIV self‑assessment scores; principal flags website clarity and areas for improvement
Summary
Middle‑school principal Meg O'Mara reported the 2024–25 district HIV self‑assessment, saying both schools exceeded expectations in four of eight indicators and combined scores increased two points year over year (reported as 72 of 78 points, described as 92%); she identified website reporting and other items as areas to refine.
Meg O'Mara, identified as the middle‑school principal and anti‑bullying coordinator, presented the district’s annual HIV self‑assessment for 2024–25 and said both the elementary and middle schools exceeded expectations in four of eight assessed indicators. O'Mara reported that the schools’ combined score increased by two points from the prior year and that the result was expressed in the presentation as 72 of 78 points (reported as 92%).
She highlighted strengths in curriculum and investigation procedures and credited supplemental programs — named in the presentation as the Heart of Hornet Club (elementary) and Lead from the Front (middle school) — for contributing to the score increase. O'Mara said the assessment process helps the district intentionally improve programs and suggested adding a clearer explanation of results on the district website.
Board members thanked the presenter. No formal action or policy change was adopted during the presentation.
