January 22-28 designated school board recognition week
Missourians benefit every day from the dedicated energies and countless hours devoted by a group of more than 3,600 men and women in every community across the state. These public servants are elected by the local constituents and do not receive compensation for their tireless efforts. These men and women are the local school board members of Missouri.
During the week of January 22-28, communities across the state will honor the service of board members during School Board Recognition Week. The goal is to build awareness and understanding of the important functions an elected board of education plays in communities and schools. All Missouri citizens are asked to recognize the important contributions of these men and women and focus attention on the vital role these public officials play in the education of Missouri's children.
Fulton Board of Education members are responsible locally for directing the course of the District. In a typical month, a board member reads stacks of reports from various administrators, prepares for and attends regular and special board meetings, guides the superintendent, and networks with the public they serve.
The board members serving the Fulton School District and their years of service are: Scott King, president, four years; Rodney Latty, vice president, 11 years; Katherine Christensen, secretary, two years; Dennis Depping, six years; Rick Gohring, 21 years; Linda Davis, one year and Kevin Habjan, one year.
