Appreciation for School Board Members

I'm excited to spend a few days this week in LaVista, Nebraska at the Annual Nebraska Association of School Boards Conference. I have a TON of respect for all school board members. They serve very thankless positions with no pay and most often no appreciation.

Here in York, we are blessed with a tremendous 6-person governing board that is very dedicated. Aside from meeting twice a month in open, formal meetings; they serve on committees, study up on school issues, and often serve other roles within the community as well. All six of our York Duke board members will be in attendance gaining professional development yet again at this week's NASB Conference. They work tirelessly to better themselves, which betters our school system.

The YPS Board of Education is action-oriented and absolutely student-centered. I am very proud of the professionalism they show and the efforts they go to as they ensure our school system runs efficiently and does what it best for students.

Make it a point to thank a school board member this week in your community. They work hard behind the scenes to help school districts do great things for students, staff, and their community.

GO DUKES!
