Knowing
that commitment and dedication, Governor Dave Heineman has proclaimed the week
of January 26th through February 1st to be School Board Member Week in the
state of Nebraska and urges all citizens to take due note of the observance.
Garden
County Schools are led by President Randy Stanczyk, Vice-President Richard
Paisley, Secretary Andrea Lake, Treasurer Mike Fischer, Board members Matt
Ardissono and Kelly Reece currently lead Garden County Schools. These elected
officials are visionary and dedicated to educational excellence, as well as
working collaboratively to make the best use of our district’s resources.
These
service-minded community members meet at a minimum once monthly for regular
meetings (the second Monday of each month at the high school), as well as
attend ongoing committee meetings to accomplish important work to
develop/review policies, work to keep building/facilities updated and safe,
update transportation means, review finance issues, and keep current about legislation
that affects our rural, sparsely populated school district.
A
recent annual retreat meeting was held to review progress made over the past
year in the district, student performance data, and set new board goals for
2014. There is a survey link on the school’s webpage (gardencountyschools.org)
to provide feedback for school improvement efforts to continue to move the
district forward and maximize learning opportunities for all students. If you
have suggestions, please take the time to answer the survey question! Your
input is valued and support is greatly appreciated. A school district’s success
depends on good communication and continually seeking to improve!
Thank
you for your positive contributions to enhance our education in Garden County!
Take the time to thank these six individuals who work for the good of our
students.
