WOODLAND — Woodland Public Schools recognized its board of directors at its Jan. 26 board meeting.
Superintendent Michael Green thanked board members for their dedication. “School districts’ elected boards of directors play a crucial role for our communities and our schools,” he said. “These community leaders volunteer to take on the sometimes-daunting task of helping guide school districts with their decisions affecting student learning, professional development and a myriad of other aspects of district operations.”
Green presented each board member with a special certificate recognizing their contributions, and thanked Board President Janice Watts, who, after serving 15 years, will not be able to run for reelection as she has moved outside of her district. “Janice has dedicated more than a decade to public service, and for that we will be forever grateful,” said Green.
Other Woodland school board members are Sarah Stuart, Jeff Wray, Trish Huddleston and Tom Guthrie.
Students from each of the district’s schools and programs made posters thanking the members. Students in Woodland High School’s Career-Life-College classes provided the board members with special gift baskets filled with items created by the students.
