Board honors three educators, including Milken-recognized principal
Summary
The board recognized three staff members for statewide and national honors, including a Milken Educator Award for New Palestine Elementary principal Kaylee Fasno and a 47‑year service award for a classified employee.
The New Palestine Community Schools Board opened its Jan. 12 meeting by recognizing three staff members for awards and long service.
Board members and staff honored a classified employee described as having served “47 years” at Newcross/Palestine schools; a presenter noted she volunteers for reading interventions and “just does what's best for kids.” The board also recognized a longtime speech teacher who started the district's first dual‑credit speech class and a principal who received national recognition as a Milken Educator Award honoree for her leadership in literacy and data-driven instruction.
In remarks introducing the classified employee, a presenter said, “She just does what's best for kids, and she is, well deserving of this award.” The board read a congratulatory letter for the principal outlining the award criteria and thanking her for years of service.
The recognitions occupied the meeting’s opening agenda and were followed by the regular reorganization and consent items.
