January is School Board Recognition Month, and USD 446 took the opportunity to celebrate.

 

The district held a Board Appreciation dinner prior to the meeting, and took additional time to thank the seven school board members: Scott Hines, Greg Hennen, Charles Barker, Sr, Sam Blackard, Mary Reichenberger, Jennifer Rutledge, and Tamisha Sewell.

 

Superintendent Jason McAfee says these individuals volunteer countless hours of meetings and discussion for the bettering of district education opportunities. They also meet with legislators and policy makers to advocate for USD 446.

 

Additional items of discussion at this month's meeting was the resignation of dance team coach Rene Stanley, as well as a reminder regarding this weekend's community celebration of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
