The Willmar Public Schools will join school districts throughout the state in saluting their local school board members during Minnesota School Board Recognition Month in September.
This commemorative month is designed to recognize the invaluable contributions made by Minnesota’s school board members, including the Willmar Public Schools Board, who are entrusted with the governance of public education under state law.
Minnesota school board members are elected or appointed by their communities to lead local schools, with responsibilities that include oversight of district finances, policy-making, and ensuring that the district adheres to state and federal education laws. Their decisions directly impact the quality of education for more than 870,000 students across the state, including our 4,000+ students in Willmar, as well as the working conditions of over 57,000 teachers and thousands of administrators and support staff.
These dedicated volunteer leaders spend countless hours in board training programs and personal study to enhance their understanding of the complexities of school finance, budgeting, and the ever-evolving landscape of education. Their commitment ensures that our schools are well-governed and that our students have the best possible opportunities for success.
We extend our deepest respect and appreciation to the members of the Willmar Public Schools Board for their unwavering dedication to serving our students, staff, and the broader community. Their leadership and commitment to effective governance play a crucial role in the success of our district.
Please join us in saying thank you to our school board members during Minnesota School Board Recognition Month: Justin Bos, Board Chairperson; Mike Reynolds, Vice Chairperson; Tammy Barnes, Treasurer; Dr. Mary Amon, Clerk; and Directors Randy Frederickson, Jay Lawton, and Scott Thaden. Your service and dedication to our schools and community are deeply appreciated.
