Board of Ed Negotiates on Residency Officer in Milford Schools
Milford Superintendent Dr. Elizabeth Feser had proposed a .5 residency officer, but the Board of Ed negotiated to set aside funds for a contracted employee.
Rather than adding a .5 Residency Officer (as in a 1/2 time employee) to the Milford Schools staff, the Board of Education voted to spend $10,000 in 2013-2014 to contract a private investigator to look into cases in which a student may be purporting him or herself to be a Milford resident while actually living outside the city limits.
Assistant Superintendent Michael Cummings noted that of the 120 students likely to be investigated, half to one-third of those students "turn out not to be of issue."
