March is Board of Education Appreciation Month!
The school is the last expenditure upon which America should be willing to economize.
~Franklin D. Roosevelt
On behalf of the Bolton Public Schools, we wish to thank the Board of Education for the wealth of support and dedication that they provide to the students, staff and citizens of Bolton.
The month of March is “Connecticut Board of Education Member Appreciation” month. The Bolton Public Schools' staff and studnets are encouraging everyone in our town to recognize the time and effort our board members, Joe Muro, Trace Maulucci, Matthew Giuffre, Karen Bergin, Paula Meyers, John Hambrook, and Karen Alibrio devote to board business during the course of the year.
One often is attracted to participating in the Board of Education because one is passionate about a great education for our children. Certainly there is no better way to act on that passion than be directly involved with the teaching and learning that goes on in our schools.
But, being a board member requires a huge commitment. It’s much more than conversations about teaching and learning. The vast list of responsibilities includes – to name a few –
- the development of policy,
- understanding and approval of all curriculum, textbooks, and programs,
- resolving issues of transportation, personnel, and expenditures,
- the negotiating of all contracts,
- committee meetings involving finance, safety, and strategic planning,
- and of course, the arduous process that it takes in terms of time, energy, and passion to develop and present the town’s education budget.
Thank You Joe, Trace, Matt, Karen, Paula, John, and Karen. Their work on this board is the most important factor in the success of our schools and our children. All of us involved in education appreciate your daily efforts and your commitment as we strive together as a team to make the Bolton Public Schools the best school system in the state of Connecticut.
