East Grand Forks School Board Celebrates Central Middle School’s Innovation Award
- Meeting Overview:
At the recent East Grand Forks Public School Board meeting, Central Middle School’s significant achievement in receiving a gold star award from the secondary school principal association was the focal point. This recognition, sponsored by Horace Mann, celebrates the school’s creative and impactful student recognition system, known as Ziggs. The system was praised for its ability to improve the school environment and foster student advocacy. Jill and her team were commended for their leadership and innovative approach, which was deemed reproducible for other schools. Along with the accolade, the school received a monetary prize to further enhance its programs.
In other business, the board discussed future presentations and meetings, including an upcoming visit from a representative of Nexus, an organization conducting a walkthrough of district buildings. The meeting included plans for a longer-than-usual session to accommodate this presentation. Additionally, the board addressed scheduling matters around the Memorial Day holiday and other upcoming events such as graduation and a grievance hearing.
The board also passed a resolution to reduce Marcelo Campa Verde’s assignment from full-time to part-time for the 2025-2026 school year. This decision was made to accommodate staffing changes and is not a reflection of Campa Verde’s performance, which was praised as excellent.
The board accepted several donations totaling $5,446.67, which included contributions for various school activities and resources. Notable donations were made by Deaks, the EGF Boosters, and New Hope for Immigrants, among others, supporting initiatives such as Outsiders Day and the arts and music programs.
