January is School Board Recognition Month, and Waldron School District is joining school districts across the state to thank these community volunteers for their untiring dedication to public education.
Serving on a school board has been described as the ‘toughest volunteer job in America.’ Yet Waldron’s public school board members dedicate countless personal hours to attending meetings, school functions, and hours of preparation for the decisions they make. On top of that, many pursue their own professional development to stay on top of the ever-changing education landscape. Collectively, school board members in Waldron have spent many hours attending training and professional development. They’re dedicated individuals who are committed to the continuing success of our schools and students.
It’s an exciting and challenging time in public education. School board members in Waldron develop policies and make tough decisions that help shape the future of our education system. They bear responsibility and oversight for an annual budget exceeding 14 million dollars, 1611 students (including ABC students), and 255 employees.
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. They preserve the core of our democracy – public education.
The men and women serving Waldron School District are:
Steve Ewing, President
Tammye Sherrill, Vice President
Eddie Harrison, Secretary (Mr. Harrison passed away on December 15, 2018, he will be greatly missed)
Regina Oliver
