We recognized the Board for their hard work at the January 11 board meeting because January is Board appreciation month. I want to thank the board for their hard work and the awesome support that they have provided to me since I have been the Superintendent.
Thank you to Past President McDonald for her hard work since July of 2015 when she took over for Previous President and Board Member Schoelles. A press release went out last week regarding board appreciation month. Here is the link. https://dearbornschools.org/news
