January is School Board Recognition Month

Governor Rick Perry has proclaimed January as School Board Recognition Month, and Sunray ISD is joining other districts across the state to thank these community volunteers for their commitment and contributions to our public schools. 

“School board members serve countless hours working to make public education the best it can be for every child”.   In a climate of change and challenge, they develop policies and make tough decisions on complex educational and social issues that affect the entire community and the lives of individual students. They bear responsibility and oversight in Sunray ISD for the overall workings of our district. 

Preparing today’s students to be productive citizens and the leaders of tomorrow is a tremendous task. As elected officials, school board members are the voice of their communities, serving first and foremost in the best interest of our schoolchildren”.

“We proudly join educators and community members in saluting these education advocates as they provide vision and leadership for student achievement, academic programs, district funding, and school facilities. Their service ensures that decisions about local public schools are made by those most familiar with the needs of our community’s children and families”. These dedicated individuals deserve recognition and thanks for their unfailing commitment to the continuing success of our students now and in the future”.

The men and women serving Sunray ISD are:

Bruce Broxson          President

Brian Lee                Vice- President

Evelyn Hill                Secretary

Tom Shelton

Max Brown

Dean Smith

Drew Thornberry

These board members will be honored at a special board appreciation banquet on January, 14, 2008.    When you see one of these fine members of our community, please thank them for their contribution to our school and community.
