BOE Recognition

It's the final week of National School Board Recognition Month so want to take a moment to publically thank the Grand Island Public School Board Members for their "Grand" commitment to our students.  Our school board members take the responsibility and public trust very seriously, dedicating an enormous number of hours to their work both in and outside of board meetings. Attending school functions, preparing for board meetings, reading financial reports, agendas and proposals, and making a host of difficult and challenging decisions are just a few of the regular activities board members participate in through their service all while balancing a job, personal and family responsibilities.  If you are not familiar with our Board of Education members, see the list and the ward they represent below.

I have had the pleasure of getting to know our BOE members through our district retreats, small group committee meetings and attending events. I continue to be impressed with their cohesiveness, professionalism and focus on what is in the best interest of our students. They sincerely care about the GIPS staff, value the insight and expertise of all educators and the community, and fully support the work identified within the district strategic plan. When they read our mission and vision statements out loud, you can tell they believe in it!

Don't hesitate to invite BOE members to your school events, they love to see the impact of their support and the great happenings on our campuses. Be sure to thank them for their service leadership and ensuring that Every Student, Every Day, a Success!

Positive, supportive, caring Thank you, school board members!
