Manager Blake Snedaker. Others in attendance were Assistant Superintendent Travis Schwab, Principal

Mr. Weber moved to approve the agenda as written. The motion was seconded by Mr. Palmer and passed 
unanimously. As an information-only item, speakers were confirmed for Madison High School and 
Central High School graduation ceremonies.  
Mr. Kevin Carey has been the principal of Central High School for two years. Central currently has 114 
students, with 25% enrolled in Special Programs. Each student has been referred to the school and meets 
At-Risk Qualifications. Staff include 9 certified teachers and additional support personnel. With a mission 
to provide “a learning environment where all students feel welcome, wanted, and appreciated,” the focus 
is on each individual student’s success. 
Since 2021 Central High School graduation rates have increased 23%. Mr. Carey credits this growth to 
diligent record keeping and the supportive relationships between teachers and students. Central staff will 
continue to work on assessment alignment, school safety, and communication with parents and the 
community. Mr. Carey expressed his appreciation to Mr. Lords, Mr. Schwab and board members for their 
support.
