School Board
School Board Directors are elected to govern and make informed decisions on behalf of our public schools for the benefit of our students and communities. In honor of their time and dedication all year long, January is designated School Director Recognition Month.
As public servants, school directors devote hours each month to board business. From voting on budgets to adopting a policy to conducting comprehensive planning, school boards fuel innovation and foster brighter futures for our schools and students.
Board service is unpaid, and school directors are often motivated to pursue the role to benefit their community, give back, or improve students' educational outcomes. About 41% of school directors serve the district they once attended as a student, and almost all are parents of students who attend or attended the district they serve. They are our neighbors, co-workers, fellow parents and friends.
When our public schools are strong, our whole community is strengthened. This month, please join us in recognizing your school directors for their commitment and effort. Let's support these public servants by showing appreciation for all they do to help our students and schools succeed.
