I have served on the Rhinelander School Board for over 12 years. I am currently the Rhinelander School Board representative on the CESA 9 Board of Control. I am also a member of the CAVOC Board. While on the School Board I have served on Employee Relations, Operations and Capital Projects Committees.
As a School Board Member my goals align with the District goals. We give an annual review to our Superintendent and annually approve the goals of the District. During that review, we, as individuals discuss goals. Once they are agreed upon, it is important that we as School Board members, get behind those goals. I would encourage you to check out our Strategic Plan on the District website. You will find our goals as a District, in general, and then in each area to specifics. Those get further broken down by each school and further within the schools by subject/grade level.
All citizens are welcome to attend our committee and full Board meetings. Time is given for their comments before all meetings. At committee meetings you will often find that we are more open to discussion about the topic in hand with members of the community. Our minutes are published on the District website. I have no problem talking to individuals about programs and initiatives that are happening in our District. I am open to their comments and suggestions.
