The Rotary Club of Mountain View had a great morning hearing updates from MVBT School District Superintendent, Lana Tharp, and Birch Tree Elementary and Mountain View Elementary Principal, Angie Jester.
The two speakers provided updates about new programs and initiatives at the district as a whole and offered clarity regarding the decision to have one principal oversee both the Mountain View Elementary and Birch Tree Elementary.
Some Updates Covered:
1. More Monday student activities are now offered.
2. More parent involvement activities.
3. Increased Vo-Tech numbers.
4. Upgraded tennis courts.
5. Cell phones are now put away for the entire school day. This new requirement has been easier to implement than initially expected, allowing for a more focused learning environment in the future.
6. Enrollment numbers are decreasing YOY.
7. There is a need for school bus drivers. If you know of anyone who may be interested, please encourage them to apply!
8. A new initiative to bridge the Birch Tree and Mountain View communities, creating a Better Together Mindset.
Thank you, Lana and Angie, for taking the time to provide updates on the MVBT School District and for your passion for educating the youngest members of our community.
