Last evening, Watervliet Public Schools joined 537 local and 56 intermediate school districts across Michigan in celebrating January as School Board Recognition Month. School Board members represent the views and priorities of their community in the complex system of maintaining and running a district’s public schools. They also reinforce the principle of local control over public education, which is an important, highly valued aspect of education in Michigan.
Board members were recognized at their regular January meeting with thanks and appreciation for their service. Students from each building in the district gave a short presentation to the board. Each member received gifts from each school building and also from the transportation department.
Many thanks to the Board Members who work so hard in support of excellence in education at Watervliet Public Schools.
