January is School Board Recognition Month

THANK YOU!!  The fresh start of January brings with it School Board Recognition Month in Michigan. We salute the Kent City Board of Education members for their untiring dedication to public education.  Each of our Boardmembers plays a crucial role as elected public officials to help establish and achieve the vision for education offered by Kent City Community Schools. Time spent at Board meetings represents only a small fraction of the time they sacrifice to make public education the best it can be. In addition, they are involved in community activities and spend many hours at extra-curricular events.  Their love for learning, and concern and caring for students, staff and community, drives a Board member’s desire to lead so students can achieve. Too often we neglect to recognize the hard work of our Board of Education members who represent us.  If you happen to encounter one of our Board members, please take a moment to tell them “thanks for caring about our children.” 

Our Board of Education members are: Bruce Hawley, President, Tim Kruithoff, Vice President, Rick Stockhill, Treasurer, Pam Brown, Secretary, Kim Funk, Trustee, Derik Miller, Trustee, Dan Winell, Trustee, Parker Fritz, Student Representative
