October School Board Newsletter

Greetings from the School Board!

Welcome to New School Board Members!

            At our last board meeting, we certified the election results and are excited to welcome four new members to the Board:  Gary Braun (teacher ), Sara Line (parent), Lindsey Nibbe (teacher), and Dawn Taggart (parent).  They are joining Sheri Acosta, Tim Goodwin, Anne Klawiter, Laura Stelter and myself (Tammy Prichard).  We are very pleased to have a quality group of people willing to serve the school in this capacity.  We have also been fortunate to have the leadership and expertise of Janine Nelson, Jan Rohwer, and Jake Roberts who have diligently served full terms and contributed significantly to the welfare of the school.

Volunteer Opportunities

            The School Board has established a number of committees that work to further the goals of the school.  Composed of parents and staff, these committees have researched designated topics, compiled helpful resources, and completed various specific tasks.  Currently, we have the following committees:  Arts, Development (with a Marketing subcommittee), Education (with a College Prep subcommittee), Facilities, and Finance.  In September the Board approved goals for each committee that fit in with the needs and goals of the school. 

            Committees are a great avenue for getting involved with the school; they make significant contributions to the school.  We have room on all of the committees for interested parents.  Consider serving on committee this year. 

Change in Elections

            Since the board approved changes in our bylaws and in our election policy, we will have two elections this year.  We had a successful election this fall and appreciate our newly-elected board members as well as those who were a part of the voting process.  Our second election will be in the spring and will allow new members to get oriented and to be a part of the planning process for the upcoming school year.  Our ballot in the spring will need 3 parents and 1 teacher.   If you’re interested in serving on the school board for Arcadia, please contact Ryan Krominga or Tammy Prichard.
