Scott Kalos, superintendent of Medina Valley ISD, acknowledged April as the Month of the Military Child and said the district’s military-connected students make up about 23% of enrollment. Kalos offered gratitude to military families for their service and said the district seeks to support military-connected students so they feel included and valued in school.

Kalos said the district appreciates the sacrifices military families make and credited them for the freedoms that enable access to public education. He said Medina Valley ISD will continue efforts to ensure military-connected students receive support and that their leadership, adaptability and perspectives enrich classrooms.
