Thank You, John Boyack
Thank you to John Boyack for, as he says, "putting his money where his mouth is." John was recently appointed to fill the board position vacated by Susan Stoops following the recall election. His term will run for two years and, like all board positions, requires a significant time commitment.
As we move forward from a tumultuous spring, let's all commit ourselves to working hard to make our school district the very best it can be. Our kids deserve our best efforts and it will take our collective energy to rebuild trust and make things right again.

July Board Meeting
The school board meeting for July is tomorrow, July 11, at 6:30 p.m. in the CHS cafeteria. The new board members will be sworn in, a new chair and vice-chair will be selected, and the new board will then choose a replacement for Susan Stoops who was recalled in April. There are reportedly five applicants for the position, three of whom are from the correct zone. Unfortunately, I can't be there but I'm hoping that others of you will fill me in on what happens.

Happy Summer!
Well friends, it's been a long and eventful year. But we made it! And we've accomplished so much! There is still more to do to make our school district all that it can be but now it's time to relax and re-charge those batteries. I appreciate the support you've given me along the way, your hard work, and the friendships we have forged. Have a great summer - we've earned it!
