The Iowa Association of School Boards (IASB) is inviting communities to celebrate and thank their local school board members during May, which is School Board Recognition Month. This year’s theme, “School Boards Matter: Making a Difference for Iowa Students,” focuses on the impact school boards have on public education and the work they do on behalf of Iowa students. Across Iowa, more than 2,000 individuals volunteer their time to ensure our students have a strong and meaningful education by analyzing budgets, monitoring student achievement data, adopting effective policies and making key decisions on educational issues. IASB has prepared a planning kit to help districts and communities recognize their school board members and this can be accessed by following this link.
