RE-1 Valley Schools Celebrates School Board Recognition Month

***Press Release***

January is School Board Recognition Month and the RE-1 Valley School District is joining other districts across the state to gratefully acknowledge the invaluable contributions local school board members make to their communities.

Volunteer school board members serve countless hours working to improve public education. In difficult times, school boards develop policies and make tough decisions on complex educational and social issues that affect the entire community and the lives of individual students. They bear responsibility in RE-1 Valley School District for an annual budget of $20,450,391; approximately 2300 students; 500 employees; and seven school buildings.

School Board members have a tremendous responsibility, preparing today’s students and tomorrow’s leaders, for productive roles in our society. School board members are the voice of their communities, serving first and foremost in the best interest of our schoolchildren.

We proudly join educators and community members in saluting these education advocates as they provide leadership for student achievement, academic programs, district funding, and school facilities. Their service ensures that decisions about local public schools are made by those most familiar with the needs of the community’s children and families. These individuals deserve recognition and thanks for their commitment and dedication to the continuing success of our students and schools.

Those serving on the RE-1 Valley Board of Education are:
BJ Ball District 2
Tona Felzien District 7
Lora Grippin District 1
Chuck Hicks District 4
Cindy Johnson District 5
Marty Smock District 6
Myra Westfall District 3
