Bus 86, alligator, will be running late for after school drop off. We will get these students home as quickly as possible.
The Arkansas School Boards Association (ASBA) along with Governor Sarah Sanders announced that January is School Board Member Recognition Month in Arkansas. School board members play an essential role in their community.
As publicly elected school leaders, Arkansas school board members set policy for their respective districts. Under state law, they are empowered to hire and evaluate the superintendent, oversee district finances, approve the budget, and determine the vision and mission of the district. School boards must also approve the curriculum and ensure the district maintains adequate facilities for teaching and learning.
These dedicated individuals are committed to the well-being and success of every child, recognizing that quality education is tailored to the individual needs of each student.
Thank you Westside School Board Members for putting so much into making our school district a great place for students!
The Great Reading Game update for today….
