School Board Appreciation Week January 22-28

The Lincoln County School System will join school districts throughout the state to salute their local education leaders during Tennessee’s annual School Board Appreciation Week January 22-28, 2012.

The commemorative week is designed to recognize the contributions made by Tennessee’s school board members, including the Lincoln County School Board, who are charged with governing public education under state law.

Tennessee school board members are chosen by their communities through election or appointment to manage local schools. They oversee multimillion dollar budgets which fund education programs for more than 934,000 students in approximately 1,736 schools. Their personnel decisions affect more than 69,500 teachers, administrators and support workers.

These volunteer leaders also are responsible for formulating school district policy, approving curricula, maintaining school facilities, and adhering to state and federal education law. Legal concerns and the complexities of school finance, including budgeting and taxation, require them to spend many hours in board training programs and personal study to enhance their understanding of these issues.

Our deepest appreciation is extended to the dedicated men and women who make it possible for local citizens to participate in education in our community. We salute the public servants of the Lincoln County School Board whose commitment and civic responsibility make local control of public schools in our community possible:

Mr. Brandon Kolle, Mr. Dexter Sullivan, Mr. Robert Strope, Mrs. June Towry, Mrs. Veronica King, Mr. Brent Malone, Mr. Jerry Pendergrass, and Mr. Thomas Stevenson.

Please join us by saying thank you to our school board members during Tennessee’s School Board Appreciation Week!
