School Board Recognition Week
October 17 - 21, 2022
The New York State School Boards Association recognizes October 17-21 as School Board Recognition Week. This is a time to promote awareness and understanding of the important work performed by local school boards. Public schools form the bedrock of our communities and our country. Democracy thrives with educated citizens capable of critical thinking and civil discourse. And it is our local school boards who are ultimately responsible for student success.
Our Elmira schools help to build and sustain our strong community, and our volunteer Board of Education members devote countless hours to making sure our schools are helping every child learn in a safe and healthy atmosphere.
School board members spend many hours studying education issues and regulations in order to provide skilled leadership in our community.
The key work of our school board includes:
• Developing a shared vision and goals for the district
• Ensuring strategies, resources, policies and programs align with district goals
• Assessing and providing accountability for student achievement
• Supporting a healthy school district culture in which to work and learn
• Evaluating the superintendent to ensure continuous improvement
• And much more!
