Chairperson Report

 

“Public service must be more than doing a job efficiently and honestly. It must be a complete dedication to the people and to the nation”. Margaret Chase Smith

 

 

Tonight we want to assure our community and all our neighbors that we take seriously the responsibility that all school leaders and educators have to ensure the safety of the students entrusted to our care. We are all committed to protecting and educating children wherever they go to school and whatever communities they call their own. Each and every member of our Board is committed to putting children first.

 

So I ask at the end of the day that you all search yourselves, set aside personal agendas and  politics and remember what our elected duties are.

 

“The right way is not always the popular and easy way. Standing for right when it is unpopular is a true test of moral character.” Margaret Chase Smith
