The Milton-Freewater Unified SD 7 Board of Directors voted unanimously March 9 to extend Superintendent Aaron Duff's three-year contract following the board's March 2026 evaluation.
Board Chair Tim McElrath read the board's evaluation, saying the panel recognized Duff for "excellent" leadership, citing an "amazing" 95% graduation rate and "the successful closing of performance gaps for English learners." The board's statement encouraged continued focus on consistent bilingual messaging and building-level staffing ratios while praising Duff's communication and community engagement.
