A Special Thanks to Board of Education Members
School board members are our neighbors who make education their business, investing countless hours of their time, and often their own resources, to set direction for our children and our local public schools. They are elected by you to establish policies that reflect your beliefs and set goals that project your community’s vision for the future. They spend long hours, after their own workdays, making decisions on issues that eventually will affect everything from local business to the quality of life in your community.
Our future is literally in their hands. Most of their efforts go unrewarded. Often, the only response school board members get is criticism. When you elected your school board members, you picked people to act for you in your absence. You chose men and women you know you could entrust with the vitality of your community and the development of your children.
They play such an important role in the uniquely American school governance system that guarantees you local control of your schools. Show appreciation to your local board of education during School Board Recognition Month in January. Please give your thanks to the dedicated board members in Perry-Lecompton USD #343 for guiding your public school system and helping shape a better tomorrow.
