Board Highlights
from the October 26, 2021 meeting
Board of Education honors MUSD Administrators for unwavering leadership
A school year of full return to in-person instruction, with COVID weekly testing and daily safety protocols, in addition to providing an alternate Virtual Pathway Program, has tested our MUSD Administrators at all levels in ways never experienced prior to the onset of the pandemic.

Our MUSD Board of Education and District Leadership recognizes the unique challenges faced by our entire MUSD Team, and those leading the way by remaining steadfast, embracing change, and taking on additional responsibilities, all for the sake of our learners.

That was all conveyed in a resolution honoring our MUSD Administrators and put into video form by a plethora of appreciative MUSD learners at the primary, secondary and adult education levels.

Also part of our October 26 recognitions, our MUSD Board and District Leadership honored our site leaders with a MUSD appreciation video showing our teams at each school site and recognizing them for their leadership, dedication and commitment in overcoming challenges, finding innovative solutions, and leading their site teams.

WE truly are #MUSDfamily!
