Meadows Valley School Board had a meeting March 12, 2024. Dee Fredrickson reported that February and March have been extremely busy. She and Jeffrey Luff attended technology training. Right after that, Dee talked to some legislators about hot topics that would affect education this year. She had lunch with Representative Charlie Shepherd and learned a lot. Then, she had Superintendent Network training. They talked a lot about using the Marzano Framework: The New Art and Science of Teaching. They’ve also been working on a grant and have completed the NAEP testing. She talked about some security updates and a few repairs that are needed including the changes that Chris Peterson suggested for the emergency system. The students participated in an event called Reality Town to reenact life skills like spending money. MVS went to Scratch for Schools in McCall and won $586. This is a fundraising event given by the Idaho Lottery which has given more than $1,664,435 to Idaho Schools since 2001.
