From the Executive Director:   

 

Dear Colleagues,

 

As a parent, an educator and the person at my school for many years who was primarily responsible for the safety of the children and adults, the tragic events of last Friday in Newtown, CT hit very close to home. Our thoughts and prayers are with the families, those that lost loved ones, but especially those that lost children. This is an unthinkable tragedy and there are no words to express the anguish and grief that we are all feeling, only tears and sorrow.
 

Even through this difficult time, the coming weeks will be filled with celebrations of many kinds. I will be spending the time with my wife, daughter and extended family. I hope you all have an opportunity to take some time to relax, reflect and rejuvenate.

 

I wish you all a safe and peaceful holiday.

 

Marc

 

Sincerely,

Marc Levinson

Executive Director, MISBO

Help Us Help You

   

As we continue to enhance the MISBO membership experience, we'd like to ask for your help. We want to be sure we're providing relevant information to the appropriate people at your schools. If you are the primary contact at your school (most likely in the business office), would you please login to the MISBO website and make any personnel updates needed? We can better serve our member schools by having the most up to date information. Thank you!
