Superintendent highlights summer meals, safety summit and teacher induction
Summary
Superintendent Dr. Jessica Ainsworth told the Carroll County Schools board the district is continuing its community eligibility program for free meals, held its 15th annual safety summit, and launched a teacher induction serving 149 staff as the district prepares for the school year.
Dr. Jessica Ainsworth, the district superintendent, opened her report by saying, "we have a lot to celebrate tonight," and outlined several district initiatives ahead of the new school year.
Ainsworth told the board Miller High School's Midnight Jazz ensemble was selected as one of 45 jazz ensembles to perform at an event in Kentucky, and she noted Robin Porter was recently honored with the Leadership Excellence in Computer Science Award by State Superintendent Richard Woods. She also said the district's teacher induction program began this week with "149 staff members." Ainsworth credited staff and leaders for planning "job alike" professional learning sessions and a district convocation available virtually.
On student nutrition, Ainsworth said the district will continue the community eligibility program that "offers free breakfast as well as lunch to our students," framing it as a way to remove barriers to learning. She also summarized the 15th annual safety summit convening school safety teams, local law enforcement and emergency management to prepare for safety incidents. "What a wonderful way to prepare for what we hope never happens," she said, thanking Glenn Harding and Tim Gribben for leadership.
The superintendent closed by inviting board members to the upcoming convocation and community events and offered to answer any questions from the board.
