More Information:  Mission Statement - Milford Public Schools will prepare all students to be successful citizens: Our Mission is fulfilled when all students read with comprehension, speak and write clearly, compute accurately, reason logically, understand and appreciate the fine arts, apply suitable strategies and habits of mind to solve problems, utilize technology to communicate and to understand information and behave morally.

This agenda contains a list of subjects known at the time of its distribution.  A copy of the agenda reflecting any changes will be available for public inspection during normal business hours in the District Office.  Except for items of an emergency nature, the agenda shall not be altered later than twenty-four hours before the meeting.  The Board reserves the right to alter the order of items, as it deems necessary.

More Information: 

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:  I have updated the budget memo from last meeting and have included additional information related to valuations and levies.

More Information:  This resolution increases our revenue authority for this year, and future budget years.  By adopting this resolution we increase our authority only.  This does not require us to levy the amount that is approved by this resolution.

Our current authority for property tax request is $7,893,865.  An additional 6% is $678,627, which would bring our total authority to $8,572,492.  Any unused authority from 2024-2025 will carry over into the 2025-2026 revenue authority.

More information is provided in the attached memo from KSB.
