Milford School Committee approves consent agenda, hears literacy and budget updates

School Committee · Meeting of February 26, 2026

Milford School Committee hears 40 percent K-5 literacy rate, approves $1.37 million in warrants and grants. The committee met Thursday, February 26, and received mid-year reports from Superintendent Craig Consigli, who described standing up new leadership cabinets and completing stakeholder interviews while acknowledging pressure to get into classrooms more, and from the Interim Assistant Superintendent for Teaching and Learning Carrie, who reported that 86 percent of observed classrooms met or exceeded the district's end-of-year engagement targets but that only 40 percent of K-5 students are currently reading at grade level per winter iReady data, up one point from last year. School Business Administrator Wen flagged the transportation, athletics, and heating accounts as running deficits, with heating costs $90,000 over last year's full-year pace by February, leaving the combined operations and maintenance balance at roughly $3,000.

The committee approved a consent agenda covering 14 warrants totaling $1,258,479.01, professional development of $5,448.10, and a $111,000 grant, and unanimously approved an out-of-state field trip for first-graders to Roger Williams Park Zoo on June 11.
