The
School District of the Menomonie Area will join school districts
throughout the state in saluting their local education leaders during
Wisconsin School Board Appreciation Week Oct. 4-10. The commemorative
week is designed to recognize the contributions made by Wisconsin's
school board members, including those serving on the School District of
the Menomonie Area Board of Education, who are charged with governing
public education under state law.
Wisconsin
school board members are chosen by their communities to manage local
schools. They oversee multi-million dollar budgets, which fund education
programs for more than 874,000 students in 424 public school districts.
Their personnel decisions affect thousands of teachers, administrators,
and support workers. These volunteer leaders are responsible for
formulating school district policy, approving curricula, maintaining
school facilities, and adhering to state and federal education law.
Legal concerns and the complexities of school finance, including
budgeting and taxation, require them to spend many hours in board
training programs and personal study to enhance their understanding of
these issues.
Our
deepest appreciation is extended to the dedicated men and women who make
it possible for local citizens to participate in education in our
community. We salute the public servants of the School District of the
Menomonie Area School Board whose commitment and civic responsibility
make local control of public schools in our community possible: Jessica
Bryan, Jay Fahl, Urs Haltinner, Jeff Jaeger, Amy Riddle-Swanson, Tammy
Schneider, Christopher Smith, David Styer, and Jim Swanson. Please join
us by saying thanks to our school board members during Wisconsin School
Board Appreciation Week.
Should
anyone wish to see our school board members in action, please join us at
the SDMA Administrative Service Center for a school board meeting
regularly held at 6:00 p.m. on the second Monday of each month and at
5:00 p.m. on the fourth Monday of the month. Otherwise, please feel free
to send your comments to my attention at the Administrative Service
Center located at 215 Pine Avenue NE in Menomonie.
