Monticello School Board Recognized For Service
January 31st, 2018 by
MONTICELLO SCHOOL DISTRICT joined districts across the state to celebrate School Board Member Recognition Month.
“Our board members assume a crucial role in representing our students and advocating for public education,” said Mrs. Sandra Lanehart.
The board members are:
Mr. Thomas W. (Wil) Maxwell-1 year of service
Mr. Keith Wells, Vice President-8 years of service
Mr. John McClendon-4 years of service
Mr. Curt Preston, President- 7 years of service
Dr. Michael Fakouri-6 years of service
As publicly elected school leaders, 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.
In addition to their board duties, state law requires Arkansas school board members to earn a minimum of six hours of professional development each year in areas related to their role and responsibilities.
On behalf of the educators and students of this District, we wish to honor these five men for their devotion and care and concern for each student in the Monticello School District.
