10/15/25 In-Person Meeting Topics Discussed:

• At our October meeting, the Board focused on strategic budget planning to position MPA for long-term success and continued excellence. We also revisited our 2025–26 Board Goals, aligning with the school’s Strategic Plan in areas such as financial oversight, community identity, leadership development, and staff support.
• The Board reviewed the 2025–26 Unified Improvement Plan (UIP), which outlines key priorities for student growth and academic achievement.
• We also applaud our MPA Middle School program, recently recognized by district leadership and the Jeffco School Board for its outstanding academic growth on CMAS ELA and Math assessments—a wonderful reflection of our dedicated teachers and students.

What does the MPA Board Do?

The Board creates, updates and maintains MPA's strategic plan, which includes effectively evaluating the effectiveness of the Board, Staff, Administration and Students. They attend scheduled board meetings every month throughout year; constantly reviewing the professional leadership of the school, community relations, educational leadership, organizational management, and financial management; address monthly agenda items; review and maintain the current year's operating budget as well as create a budget for the next year; develop MPA policies; and support and promote the Vision and Mission Statement of MPA.

All Board members are committed to ensuring the success of MPA through alignment of vision and our mission with the best practices of professional and quality education. The Principal, Business Manager, Assistant Principal, and the Staff Liaison, who is elected by the MPA staff, also attend all Board of Directors meetings.

The Board meets once a month to discuss the various elements of school governance. These meetings are open to the public and open to any community member who might wish to attend. While the meetings are open, it is important to remember this is a formal meeting and the dialogue primarily exists between Board members as they discuss the various items on the agenda. However, there is a designated time for community members to share their thoughts with the Board during each meeting. This time is called “Community Comments,” and you are welcome to sign up to speak during this time. A sign-up sheet for comments can be found on the lobby bulletin board of the school, along with the meeting agenda.

If you wish to share ideas or concerns with the Board, you are welcome to reach out to any Board member individually. Contact information for each member is found on the school website. The Board welcomes feedback from the community!

For reference, all corporate documents (i.e. by-laws, articles of incorporation, BOD policies) are located on the school website and are also available in the front office and are available for public review upon request. The Board does not generally have access to confidential files of students, school personnel or other federally or state mandated confidential information.
