January is School Board Recognition Month, a great opportunity to say thank you to the Gardner Edgerton Board of Education members who are committed to the success of every student in our community.
Our board of education includes
Tom Reddin (2022-23 President), Lana Sutton (2022-23 Vice President), Greg Chapman, Russ Ellis, Heath Freeman, Jeff Miller, and Katie Williams.
These seven community leaders volunteer hundreds of hours attending meetings, reading reports, and discussing plans and programs to support educational achievement.
A board member’s responsibility goes far behind the monthly meeting, however. They also meet with legislators and other policymakers to advocate for our schools to ensure every child can access an excellent education. We are grateful to have this opportunity to formally say ‘thank you’ to each of them.
USD 231 encourages the entire community to thank a school board member this month and throughout the year!
