Loup City Public Schools Celebrate School Board Member Appreciation Week

The week of January 22-28 has been designated as Nebraska School Board Recognition Week. The Loup City Public School district has joined with districts across the state to thank these community volunteers for service to public education.
      Being a school board is sometimes described as one of the toughest volunteer jobs in America, yet Nebraska public school board members dedicate countless hours to attending meetings, school functions and hours of preparation for the decisions they make. They work to stay on top of the ever changing education landscape and issues relating to education. Our schools and our community are better because of these community volunteers. LCPS board members develop polices and make decisions which help shape the future for the district. They bear responsibility and oversight for an annual budget of $7.9 million, 339 students, 62 employees and several buildings and other facilities.
     We are grateful to have an opportunity to formally say 'thank you' to these education advocates as they provide vision and leadership for student achievement, academic programs, district funding and school facilities. Residents of The Loup City Public School District are encouraged to express their appreciation to the board members not only during January but throughout the year.
