Vision for Improvement

As we move toward a plan for improvement, I’m interested to hear what you think should be included in our district goals.


To share your perspective, please participate in a ThoughtExchange and list words, phrases or concepts that you think describe where the district needs to focus its vision for progress.


Thank you!

Upcoming Presentation on Special Education

Next Thursday, May 12 at 7 p.m., MSD Director of Student Services Kevin Carroll will present an overview of Special Education services in the district.


The session will include the basics of special education, initial concerns, the process once a concern is brought to light, and then the process to determine if a student should be referred for an evaluation. The presentation will also cover what happens after a student is referred, including the required timelines and the process to determine eligibility and what comes next.


The session will be held at the Family Resource Center at 1500 NE Baker Street.
