Thank You, School Board!
Please join us in thanking our school board members for their service to our district!
January is School Board Recognition Month, and we invite the Springfield community to join us in recognizing the five dedicated members of the Springfield School Board for the valuable contributions they make to our school district, and to our community. We welcome our newest members and wish them all the best in 2018.
What does a school board do? Broadly speaking, it’s the board’s job to support student achievement by creating a vision for where we want to go as a district and keeping us on track to get there. They represent a vital link to the community, and hold us as educators accountable for our students’ continued progress.
We are so grateful to have a school board that goes above and beyond these primary functions and routinely does whatever it takes to support our district's vision: Every Student, Every Day.
Through their passion about our community and enthusiasm for education, our board members play an essential role in guiding the district's work. In addition to taking time out of their busy lives to prepare for and attend twice-monthly meetings in the board room, our board members also participate in various subcommittees and related activities, and can also be seen regularly at schools, sporting events, fundraisers and open houses - even the Christmas parade! Be sure to say hello when you see them!
So thank you, Laurie Adams, Zach Bessett, Erik Bishoff, Emilio Hernandez and Tony Jobanek for giving your time and energy to make dreams come true for our Springfield students and our community!
