MGSD loves recognizing those employees who go Above and Beyond the Call of Duty for our children by representing our core values.
At the May Board of Education meeting, the ABCD award was bestowed on Ms. Cindy Tyler, Finance Specialist. Ms. Tyler was nominated by Jonathan Smith, Chief Finance Officer & Dr. Scott Smith, Chief Operations Officer. In the nomination, Mr. Smith and Dr. Smith highlighted that Ms. Tyler goes Above & Beyond in her work, and models the MGSD core value of authentic relationships, empowerment, equity, integrity and safety.
Mr. Smith & Dr. Smith said, "Cindy embodies all of MGSD's core values every day. From the first day of her employment with MGSD, she started cultivating authentic relationships with everyone in and outside of her department. She believes her primary reason for being here is to help others, which is evident in her daily actions. Her list of job responsibilities is large, yet she always asks others if she can lend a hand and is happy to help. She has never once said that something was not her job and always maintains a wonderful attitude. Her outlook and work ethic are infectious and create a positive change in everyone around her. She loves being empowered with knowledge and requires little to no assistance in most things. She steps up as a leader when needed and plays a vital role in supporting the core functions of finance operations. She treats everyone kindly and equitably and has created a culture of trust with those she works with. Cindy is a rock star employee with MGSD, and the entire organization is better because of her."
