School Board Recognition Week

In difficult economic times like these, a community’s elected officials face incredible challenges.  Often, they are required to make choices and decisions that they never dreamed they might face when agreeing to offer themselves up for public service.  It’s called being a leader, and our community is fortunate enough to have five such individuals on the Ipswich Public School District board.
January 9th – 13th is South Dakota School Board Recognition Week which provides a perfect opportunity to honor the contributions being made daily by our school board members.  Our board members play a very real role in preparing the district’s students for an ever changing world.  Each month they must develop policies and make difficult decisions on issues that can affect the whole community.  For these and many other reasons, they deserve our support and appreciation during School Board Recognition Week.
The men and women serving the Ipswich Public School District are:
Jerome Schaffner (Chairman)
Justin Davis (Vice Chairman
Camile Geditz
Heidi Sylte
Carol Pond

Sincerely,

Trent Osborne, Superintendent
Ipswich Public School District
