Our district’s faculty, parents and community aren’t the
only ones impressed by our Board of Trustees. As the winner of the 2011 CUBE
Award for Urban School Board Excellence, this well-respected group of seven is
now even recognized at the national level.
Recently Board President Robert Seward, Board Member Dr.
Cary Tanamachi and I addressed the Iowa Association of School Boards’ (IASB)
annual conference. IASB invited us and paid our expenses so that we could
address some 2,000 registrants about the traits of a top-notch school board.
Our main message was two-fold. We stressed
the importance of the Board staying focused on policy-related issues rather
than on day-to-day school operations. We also reiterated that in every single
decision, our Board takes into consideration what’s best for MISD students.
