January is School Board Recognition Month, a great opportunity to say thank you to the Republic County USD 109 Board of Education who are committed to the success of every student in our community.
Our board of education includes Clay Aurand-President, Brent Martin-Vice President, Laura Leita, Brian McCartney, Chris Pachta, Eddie Sandberg and Clay Siemsen.
Thank you to Loisann Brown whose term ends this month for her many years of service, as well as, Kevin Milner as he stepped down in October after many years of service.
These seven community leaders volunteer hundreds of hours attending meetings, reading reports and discussing plans and programs to support educational achievement.
“Our board members develop policies and make complex decisions that shape the future of our education system. They are accountable for an annual budget of $10 million, 525 students, 100 employees and 2 buildings,” said Larry Lyder, Superintendent.
A board member’s responsibility goes far behind the monthly meeting, however.
“They also meet with legislators and other policy makers to advocate for our schools to make sure every child has access to an excellent education. We are grateful to have this opportunity to formally say ‘thank you’ to each of them,” said Lyder.
Republic County USD 109 encourages the entire community to thank a school board member, not only this month but throughout the entire year.
