School Board Recognition Week Jan. 22-28
During the week of January 22 – 28, communities across the state will honor the dedicated service of local boards of education during School Board Recognition Week, as proclaimed by Governor Jay Nixon.
School Board Recognition Week is sponsored by the Missouri School Boards’ Association. MSBA is a private, not-for-profit organization that exists to help school boards succeed. The goal is to build awareness and understanding of the important function an elected board of education plays in communities and schools.
All Missouri citizens are asked to recognize the important contributions of these men and women and focus attention on the vital role these public officials play in the education of Missouri’s children.
Missourians benefit every day from the dedicated energies and countless hours devoted by a group of more than 3,600 men and women in every community across the state. These public servants are elected by local constituents and do not receive compensation for their tireless efforts. These men and women are the local school board members of Missouri.
R-I Board of Education members include President Patrick Martin, Vice-President Richard Allgier, members Xandra Sonderman, Wanda Tesreau, Leo Francis, Greg Burns, and Steve Rohan.
