January is School Board Recognition Month, a great opportunity to say thank you to the USD 446 Board of Education who are committed to the success of every student in our community.
Our board of education includes Scott Hines (President), Greg Hennen (Vice President), Charles Barker, Sr, Sam Blackard, Marty Reichenberger, Jennifer Rutledge, and Tamisha Sewell. You can learn more about them at https://www.indyschools.com/pa...
These seven community leaders volunteer hundreds of hours attending meetings, reading reports, and discussing plans and programs to support educational achievement. A board member’s responsibility goes far behind the monthly meeting, however.
“They also meet with legislators and other policy makers to advocate for our schools to make sure every child has access to an excellent education. We are grateful to have this opportunity to formally say ‘thank you’ to each of them,” said Jason McAfee, Superintendent of Schools.
We encourage the entire community to thank a school board member, not only this month but throughout the entire year.
