LCPS Board Members Recognized During Nebraska School Board Member Week

By

Tom Hinrichs

LCPS Superintendent

January 2014 is School Board Recognition Month

As citizens who serve children and represent their communities, school board members face complex and demanding challenges. All LCPS Patrons should recognize the vital contributions these elected public officials play in the education of our children. They are extraordinary people who voluntarily tackle the enormous job of governing school districts.

January 2014 is School Board Recognition Month—a great time to focus on the crucial role board members play in our communities and schools. 

School board members come from all walks of life. While they wear many hats in the workday world, school board members put on a collective hat when they get down to the business of leading our school districts. Board members must pull together as a team toward a common goal—helping students achieve. While they may individually disagree on certain issues, their role as a board is to consistently strive toward that goal.

The time spent in board meetings represents just a small fraction of the hours school board members devote to leading the LCPS District. They also work hard at seminars and training sessions to keep abreast of the latest trends in educational leadership, are deeply involved in community activities, and spend many hours in the schools and at extracurricular events.

We hope you’ll take this opportunity to help acknowledge the men and women who make the time to share their leadership and voice about the future of Loup City children.
