ADAIR COUNTY R-II NEWSLETTER
JANUARY 2017 Brashear,
Missouri
SCHOOL BOARD
RECOGNITION WEEK
Missourians benefit every day from the dedicated energies and
countless hours devoted by a group of more than 3,600 men and women from
communities across the state. These
public servants are elected by local constituents and do not receive
compensation for their tireless efforts.
These men and women are the local school board members of Missouri.
During the week of January 22-28, communities across the state
will honor the dedicated service of their local boards of education during
School Board Recognition Week, as proclaimed by Governor Jay Nixon. The goal is to build awareness and
understanding of the important function an elected board of education plays in
communities and school. All Missouri
citizens are asked to recognize the important contributions of these men and
women and focus attention on the vital role these public officials play in the
education of Missouri’s children.
The students and staff of the Adair County R-II School District
extend sincere appreciation for the dedication of those who serve on the
district’s Board of Education.
