January is School Board Recognition Month in Colorado – Adams 14 thanks its Board of Education members for their service
COMMERCE CITY (January 13, 2010): January is School Board Recognition Month, and Adams 14 joins other districts across the state to honor the invaluable contributions local school board members make to their communities.
At the January 12 Board meeting, Adams 14 Superintendent Sue Chandler read a resolution into the record recognizing this important month. In addition, the District honored Board Members with a video presentation, and several students from Adams City Middle School presented the Board with official school t-shirts to thank them for their service.
"Volunteer school board members serve countless hours working to improve public education," said Superintendent Chandler. In difficult times, school boards develop policies and make tough decisions on complex educational and social issues that affect the entire community and the lives of individual students. Adams 14 Board members oversee an annual budget over $50 million; 7000 students, ages three to 21; nearly 1000 employees; and 13 schools.
"School board members have a tremendous responsibility, preparing today's students – and tomorrow's leaders – for productive roles in our society. The Adams 14 Board of Education represents the voice of this community, serving first and foremost in the best interest of our students," said Chandler.
"We proudly join educators and community members in saluting these education advocates as they provide leadership for Adams 14. Their volunteer service ensures that decisions about local public schools are made by those most familiar with the needs of the community's children and families," said Chandler. "They deserve recognition and thanks for their commitment and dedication to the continuing success of our students and schools, and they truly understand the Adams 14 mission to inspire, educate and empower.”
The members of the Adams 14 Board of Education are:
Former Board Director Jeff Smith was also recognized for his outstanding service at the Tuesday meeting. Smith has served several terms on the Board, both as an elected and appointed official.
