The Connecticut Association of Boards of Education is celebrating Board of Education Member Appreciation Month in March, and is asking all citizens to join them in building awareness and understanding of the vital function an elected board of education plays in our society.
Superintendent of Schools Matthew Conway said, "I ask you to join me in recognizing the incredible work of the Derby Board of Education and thank them for their relentless pursuit of excellence for your child and this city. They selflessly sacrifice their time and countless hours listening, learning, researching and advocating for what is best for our kids, our district, our city and this family.
"Through the leadership and guidance of Chairman Jim Gildea and the trust and support of the members of the Board, every administrator, teacher, staff member, and student is given a voice, so together, as a family, we continue to improve and make decisions that are best for our kids."
Gildea said, "This board has a clear and consistent track record for putting the interests of our children at the center of all that we do. We are a committed team of individuals who combine our collective experiences to always ensure the school system has the tools they need to keep moving the bar higher. It is an honor to serve with such dedicated people."
Please reach out and thank a board member today. It is a small but meaningful gesture of the gratitude we have for their service."
This is a press release from Superintendent of Schools Matthew Conway.
