Today, we were extremely lucky to have a true educational pioneer help us kick off the 2024-25 school year. Matt Miller has been in the classroom for more than a decade as a foreign language teacher. He has been named one of the top 10 influencers in educational technology and e-learning worldwide and has helped thousands of teachers with practical “use it in the classroom tomorrow” solutions while helping him focus on what’s important to keep education relevant.
The football field is finished! We've also had new HVAC units delivered and being installed that were purchased with the same insurance claim from the May 8th storm.
Work on other projects is continuing. While some of the projects have not gone quite as quickly as we would like, progress is being made.
Check out Isaiah's recap of the July board meeting. Thank you Isaiah for putting this together.
