“The men and women on our school board are committed to providing all students with the academic, social, and emotional support and resources they need to achieve their fullest potential,” said Interim Superintendent Dr. Karen Gagliardi. “They understand the enormous responsibility that our community entrusts them with and exercise conscientious decision-making in order to best serve our students and families. This week we honor their many contributions throughout the year.”
Gagliardi said the key work of school boards is to support the District’s mission of fully preparing students to meet life’s challenges, achieving educational excellence, setting high standards, and expecting the best from students, teachers, administrators, and staff.
