🍎 Meet Board Trustee Ed Erwin ~
A Trustee in his 5th year, Ed says, "Having attended several Summer Leadership Institutes for School Board Members over the last few years has made me feel very fortunate that we (as a school board team) get along so well with no political issues. There are many districts across the state where this is not the case. We are blessed to live in a community of parents, educators, and administrators that are very giving of their time, talents, and treasures."
Ed works in the farm and ranch business.
Good afternoon parents of middle school students, weather radar indicates heavy rain this afternoon. We will not be able to allow students to walk after school. Please make arrangements to pick your child up. Thank you for helping us to ensure student safety.
