School board members play a crucial role as an elected board in the communities and the schools in which they serve.
January is School Board Recognition Month, a time to focus on your school board members in your community and thank them for their commitments, sacrifices and efforts. School board members work with administrators, school staff, and students to try to make the schools as best as they possibly can be. School board members voluntarily donate their time to take on the immense job of making action decisions for school districts.
On Monday, Jan. 30, USD 489 will be having a BOE appreciation social and a board meeting. The appreciation social beings an hour before the scheduled meeting at 5:30 p.m. This will give community members a chance to thank the board members.
Cake and punch will be provided to those who attend.
Board members include:
- Lance Bickle, Board President
- Sarah Rankin, Board Vice President
- Mandy Fox, Board member
- Danielle Lang, Board member
- Luke Oborny, Board member
- Josh Waddell, Board member
- Dr. Paul Adams, Board member
