From your School Board
[email protected] January 2020 Learning and Growing Together at the State Education Convention “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world” Nelson Mendela The State Education Convention, sponsored in part by the Wisconsin Association of School Boards (WASB), met January 21-24 in Milwaukee and provided an opportunity for school board members and other administrators from HSSD to network, learn and share important issues related to public education in Wisconsin. With the theme of “Expanding Your Vision,” representatives heard keynote speakers and attended breakout sessions focusing on student learning, school finances, mental health, building community relationships, just to name a few. Learning from another school board or district can open new possibilities or create a reflection on our current policies for the Howard-Suamico School District. For more information about the Howard-Suamico School District, Board of Education, please visit our website at www.hssdschools.org, or for more information on this article, contact school board member Garry Sievert, at [email protected] |
