🎉 Austin Public Schools will join school districts throughout the state to salute their local school board members during Minnesota School Board Recognition Month in September.

The commemorative month is designed to recognize the contributions made by Minnesota's school board members, including the Austin School Board, who are charged with governing public education under state law.

Minnesota school board members are chosen by their communities through election or appointment to manage local schools. They oversee multimillion-dollar budgets that fund education programs for more than 870,000 students in more than 2,200 schools. Their personnel decisions affect more than 57,000 teachers and thousands of administrators and support workers.

Also, these volunteer leaders are responsible for formulating school district policy, approving curriculum, maintaining school facilities, and adhering to state and federal education law. Legal concerns and the complexities of school finance, including budgeting and taxation, require them to spend many hours in board training programs and personal study to enhance their understanding of these issues.

Our deepest appreciation is extended to the dedicated men and women who make it possible for local citizens to participate in education in our community. We salute the public servants of the Austin School Board whose commitment and civic responsibility make local control of public schools in our community possible:
🍎 Dr. Carolyn Dubé
🍎 Peggy Young
🍎 Carol McAlister
🍎 CeCe Kroc
🍎 Don Leathers
🍎 Robert Hartman
🍎 Dan Zielke

Please join us in saying thank you to our school board members during Minnesota School Board Recognition Month.

Happy Tuesday!

School Boards Are Essential to School Success... Thank You, Don!

"It is my intention this school year to devote much of my energy to helping new teachers transition into the classroom. By attending new teacher orientations, having periodic check-ins with new staff, and staying abreast of regular meetings, I will commit myself to ensuring that our new staff members succeed and flourish in the classroom and beyond."
