Description

Press release from the Urbandale Community School District: April 27, 2022 As May is School Board Recognition Month, sponsored by the Iowa Association of School Boards, we celebrate the contributions of board members to Iowa public education. Urbandale Community School District is celebrating the work of school board members who are Launching Iowa's Next Generation through their commitment to our students, schools, and community As citizen leaders, UCSD board members face complex and demanding challenges. Yet few people fully understand the scope and far-reaching implications of board members' responsibilities. Board members contribute thousands of hours each year leading their districts. Whether it be crafting policies, listening to staff and student concerns, or advocating with legislators, board members always keep their eyes on the goal of student achievement. The time spent in board meetings represents just a small fraction of the hours school board members spend leading in their districts. They attend seminars and training sessions to keep current on the latest trends in educational leadership; are deeply involved in community and school activities; and they create, read and study countless reports, agendas, proposals and other information to guide difficult decisions. Their love for learning and their commitment to the students, staff, and community served by UCSD drives board members' desire to help students take flight. During School Board Recognition month, join us in extending a heartfelt 'thank you' to our UCSD Board of Directors for the countless hours they dedicate to supporting students, families, staff, teachers, and administrators. We are #thankful4U! #CelebrateIASchoolBoards Board of Directors: Jenny Meade, Rachel Kent, Vice President Brianna Sayre Geiser, President Katherine Howsare, Jason Menke, Judy Downs (resigned March 2022), and Ashley Anderson.
