Minnesota School Board Recognition Month

“Minnesota School Boards Help Minnesota Kids Rise”

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

(Pierz, MN) — September is Minnesota School Board Recognition Month, and Pierz Schools is proud to join the Minnesota School Boards Association in recognizing the dedicated public servants who help ensure every student has the opportunity to succeed. This year’s statewide theme, “Minnesota School Boards Help Minnesota Kids Rise,” capitalizes on the state’s new campaign and celebrates the essential role locally elected school boards play in helping students achieve their highest potential.

School board members volunteer countless hours to lead one of our community’s most important responsibilities — providing students with a high-quality public education that prepares them for success in college, careers, and life. Their leadership helps create learning environments where students are challenged, supported, and inspired to grow.

Through their leadership, school board members help:

·         Set a clear vision focused on student success and lifelong learning;

·         Ensure responsible stewardship of public resources;

·         Support safe, welcoming, and inclusive learning environments;

·         Expand opportunities that prepare students for college, careers, and life;

·         Partner with families, educators, businesses, and the community to strengthen public education;

·         Monitor progress and make informed decisions that continuously improve student outcomes.

Strong public schools are built through strong local leadership. School boards represent the voices and values of their communities while making thoughtful decisions that invest in students and strengthen the future of Minnesota.

We proudly recognize the members of the Pierz Schools School Board for their dedication and service to our students, staff, and community:
