Dear District 41 Community,

In honor of School Board Member's Day, please join me in thanking our Board of Education members for their dedication, hard work and support of our district.  This elected volunteer Board spends countless hours participating in PTA meetings, Board committee meetings, regular and special Board meetings, district leadership team meetings, student learning activities, and district events. Board members serve as true champions of our district.  They ask the hard questions, push the district to be the best and support planning for the future.  Thank you, Board. Happy School Board Member's Day!

I present this proclamation in honor of the Glen Ellyn School District 41 Board of Education:

Whereas, Board of Education members are unpaid volunteers elected to sit in trust

for their diverse communities to meet expectations and aspirations for the public

education of their children; and

Whereas, Board of Education members are responsible for providing the leadership,

vision and high standards for the effective operation of their school district; and

Whereas, Board of Education members are entrusted with the stewardship of

scarce tax dollars and are responsible for maintaining and preserving the buildings,

grounds, and educational quality of the district; and

Whereas, Board of Education members are generous donors of their time and talents; therefore be it

PROCLAIMED that in recognition of School Board Members Day on November 15, 2014, District 41 recognizes, honors and thanks our Board of Education members for devoting so much to the community and to the education of the community's children.  

Recognizing President John Kenwood, Vice President Drew Ellis, Secretary Dean Elger, Joe Bochenski, Patrick Escalante, Erica Nelson, and Cathryn Wilkinson.  

Yours in Partnership for Education,

Paul Gordon

Superintendent
