The month of January marks the annual observation of School Board Recognition Month – a time to salute the important role and dedication of board members in their volunteer work and celebrate public education.
In Madill Public Schools, school board members must develop policies and make tough decisions on complex educational and social issues impacting the entire community. They bear responsibility for an annual budget of $15 million, 1700 students, and 210 employees. They carry out the truest form of representative government in our democracy --- volunteer public service --- and they preserve the core of our democratic land, public education.
It’s more important than ever before that communities support public education so that today’s students are prepared to be productive citizens and the leaders of tomorrow. Please take a moment and tell school board members ‘thanks for caring about our children and giving so much to our community.’ Let them know we support them and that their dedicated service is recognized and truly appreciated.
