District Update - Jan. 13
January marks an important milestone in our calendar - School Board Recognition Month. I want to express my deepest appreciation and thanks to our Board members - Kathy Quintiliano, Janet Winslow, Dan Haight, Tom Tomasheski, and Gary Wilson. Their hard work and dedication to Midview are invaluable, and we are incredibly fortunate to have such committed representatives serving our schools and community.
The Board of Education plays a critical role in guiding educational policies and decisions. Board members are responsible for reviewing and approving budgets, approving recommendations from the Superintendent, informing the public on district progress, and setting policies pertaining to employees, courses of study and textbooks. These dedicated individuals bring a variety of perspectives and strengths gained through their personal experiences, education, careers, and service to the Midview community.
Please join me in celebrating their important role in our district and our community at the January 18 Board of Education meeting at 6:30 p.m. in the Midview High School LRC.
Take Care,
Dr. Bruce Willingham

Sound financial operations and continued fiscal stability of Midview Local Schools is a top priority for our district. Every member of our community plays an important role in this process. We have a responsibility, to each other, to be educated about the basic financial operations of our school district.
Transparency is a key element to the success of financial literacy for all school district stakeholders, including community members, parents and staff members. As such, it is important to the district that our financials are easily accessible and regularly updated for our community to view. We strive to maintain open lines of communication regarding our financial position, school funding and how we spend the tax dollars that our community has entrusted us to manage responsibly.

Thank you,
