School Board Superheroes Celebrated in May


SCHOOL BOARD SUPERHEROES CELEBRATED IN MAY

May is School Board Recognition Month, sponsored by the Iowa Association of School Boards to celebrate the contributions of board members to Iowa public education.  The Benton CSD is celebrating our school board superheroes for their heroic work serving our students and our school.

While our board members are elected to the position by the community, they serve unpaid. They’re volunteers who are true superheroes—they spend a significant amount of time at regular monthly meetings, reviewing board materials, communicating with citizens, taking advantage of board learning opportunities, and attending school functions and activities.

The Benton CSD School Board is charged with governing our school district. They set the direction for the district, oversee the budget, develop policies and make decisions that impact the entire community. And most importantly—they are committed to student achievement.

The Benton CSD is shining a spotlight on our superheroes at the regular monthly meeting on May 15, 2019 at7:00 p.m. Members will be recognized at the beginning of the meeting and will receive a certificate for their service. 

The superheroes serving the Benton CSD and their years of service are:

  • Roy Becker – Director District 1 (Newhall area) – 7 Years of Service

  • Theresa Thompson – Director District 2 (Van Horne area) – 3 Years of Service

  • Matt Nolte – Director District 3 (Atkins area) – 3 Years of Service

  • Patrick Stepanek – Director District 4 (Rural Atkins/Highway 30 area) – 9 Years of Service
