School Board Recognition Week...
January 24th - 30th
During the week of January 24-30, communities across the state will honor the dedicated service of local boards of education during School Board Recognition Week as declared by Governor Jay Nixon. The goal is to build awareness and understanding of the important function a board of education plays in communities and schools. School Board Recognition Week is sponsored by Missouri School Board Association (MSBA).
Their job is to establish a vision for the education program, design a structure to achieve that vision, assure schools are accountable to the community and strongly advocate continuous improvement in student learning.
Board members contribute hundreds and hundreds of hours each year leading their districts. Whether crafting policies, listening to staff and student concerns, or recognizing outstanding programs, board members always keep their eyes on the prize of student achievement.
