This is the public’s opportunity to speak to items on the agenda. This is also the public’s opportunity to speak to any topic concerning the school district – since it is not an agenda item the board cannot discuss or take action on the matter at this time. Future discussion can be requested as an agenda item. To be recognized, all participants must complete the Request to Address the Milford Board of Education Form. No complaints regarding specific staff members will be heard during a public meeting. The District has established separate procedures for complaints against individual employees.

More Information:  This is a tough one for myself and the district.  Pat Johnson has taught at Milford Public Schools for 31 years.  She was in Pleasant Dale for 23 and in Milford the past 8.  She has taught Kindergarten, second, third and fourth grades.

Pat has been a fantastic staff member.  Her positive attitude and dedication to students will be greatly missed.  We wish Pat and her husband Jim the best in her retirement years.

More Information:  Jessica has accepted a special education position with Wahoo Public Schools.  Jessica currently commutes from Wahoo so the move is great for her and her family.  Jessica has done an outstanding job and she will be missed.
