On Tuesday, September 21, 2021, Ms. April Griffin of the Florida School Boards Association presented Superintendent John D. Millay and the Martin County School Board with a plaque in recognition of their designation as a Master Board. The Master Board Program, which is a skills-based team curriculum for Florida school boards and superintendents, is designed to strengthen the leadership team’s ability to work effectively, efficiently, and collectively while maintaining a focus on student achievement and factors contributing to the success of schools.
"Data demonstrates the direct correlation between the effectiveness of the governance team - the Superintendent and School Board - and student achievement," Ms. Griffin shared when presenting the award to Dr. Millay and School Board Members.
The Martin County School District is one of just 20 Florida school districts that currently hold Master Board designation.
