Thank You School Board!
January Is School Board Recognition Month
SCHOOL BOARD LEADERS HONORED IN JANUARY
“School Boards Make a World of Difference”

School Board Recognition Month, in January, is celebrated by local and Career Tech school districts in Oklahoma, as over 2700 elected school board members are honored by their schools and communities for untiring dedication to school governance.

“The foundation of school leadership is ensuring equal learning opportunities for all students,” says Terry Due, Superintendent. “We’re proud of our district, and School Board Recognition Month is the time to recognize and celebrate the accomplishments of our elected trustees.”

In Collinsville Schools, school board members must develop policies and make tough decisions on complex educational and social issues impacting the entire community. They bear responsibility for an annual budget of $17.5 million, 2665 students, 300+ employees and 6 buildings.

“School board members make decisions that affect Oklahoma children and billions in educational expenditures,” notes Due. “They preserve the core of our democracy—public education.”

This photo shows the Collinsville School Board meeting in Superintendent Howell Wilson's office in the old High School in 1948. I'd have to do some more research for names of the two gentlemen on either end but L-R starting with Mr. Wilson (2nd from left), O.T. Jones, Kay Bayouth, and George Miller. -- Ted Wright 1/10/2013
