February marks School Board Appreciation Month, a special time to recognize and celebrate the dedication and hard work of our school board members. These leaders are the backbone of our education system, champions of opportunity, and advocates for excellence, tirelessly working to ensure that every student has access to quality education and opportunities for success. 

School board members serve our community with the vision and commitment to create pathways for student achievement. They oversee division policies, manage budgets, and set goals that impact every student, family, and staff member. Their work is often behind the scenes, yet it profoundly shapes the educational experiences and futures of our students. As Champions of Opportunity, our school board members are dedicated to breaking down barriers and ensuring that every child, regardless of background, has the support they need to thrive. Through programs that promote equity, expand academic options, and provide access to essential resources, they work to close gaps and create opportunities for all students to achieve their fullest potential. 

In addition, our board members are Advocates for Excellence, pushing our schools to innovate and evolve. They support initiatives that bring new technology into classrooms, encourage career pathways through Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs, and invest in professional development for teachers and staff. Their commitment to excellence helps our students acquire the skills they need to meet the demands of the future and equips them to make meaningful contributions to society. 

“The foundation of student success is yearlong leadership, advocacy, and support from our School Board,” said CCPS Division Superintendent Tony Brads. “We’re proud of our division, and School Board Appreciation Month is the time to recognize and celebrate the accomplishments of our elected members.” 

Throughout February, we will be celebrating School Board Appreciation Month with a special recognition at the February 10, 2025 School Board meeting. This month is an opportunity to express our heartfelt gratitude for their vision, leadership, and dedication to our students and community. 

Please join us in honoring our school board members this February. We are grateful for their service as true champions of opportunity and advocates for excellence, helping us build a brighter future for every student in our community.
