January is School Board Appreciation Month and Superintendent Pauley recognized and thanked the hardworking and dedicated Marcellus Community Schools Board members.   Our local school board does some of the most important work of our community—that of educating our youth. The school board establishes a vision for the education program, provides a structure to achieve that vision, and strongly advocates for continuous improvement in student learning. These citizen volunteers work many hours and make personal sacrifices all in an effort to lead our district. The members of our Marcellus Community School Board of Education are committed to keeping our school district strong and to providing the best education for youth.  

Please join me in saluting the men and women who provide grassroots governance of public schools.
