The month of January provides a unique opportunity to acknowledge a special group of volunteer elected officials in education. It is School Board Recognition Month, and it offers communities across Maine a way to acknowledge the continuing efforts of school board members in providing leadership and guidance to local school districts. These individuals dedicate countless hours of hard work to improving education for Maine children. School board members take that responsibility and public trust very seriously, dedicating an enormous number of hours to their work both in and outside of board meetings. Attending school functions, preparing for board meetings, reading financial reports, agendas and proposals, and making a host of difficult and challenging decisions are just a few of the regular activities board members participate in through their service. Today, more than ever, school board leaders are faced with the overwhelming charge of providing a quality education at a time when financial constraints weigh heavily on the health of school district budgets. In an era of unprecedented choice in education, school boards are also tasked with charting a course that provides long-term, sustainable success for current and future students in all of Maine’s public schools. Board members come from all walks of life with diverse experiences and backgrounds, but working together, they make decisions in the best interests of Maine’s children. Eastern Aroostook RSU39 is honored with the most outstanding School Board Members. Thank you for all you do!

This summer, Jonna Bouré attended a week-long trip around Acadian French sites in Maine with a dozen other French teachers. This experience motivated her to invite Noah Ouellette, a representative from the French consulate in Boston, to visit CHS and tour the region. Her AP students just completed a video short film about the Acadian experience and the French honor society students will be teaching French at CCS in January during Power Hour as part of their community service. Jonna's dedication to telling the story of Northern Maine Acadians caught the interest of the DOE who chose to interview her for the DOE Newsroom publication earlier this month. https://mainedoenews.net/2021/12/03/celebrating-maine-heritage-through-a-love-of-language-meet-jonna-boure/

National Special Education Day is celebrated every year on December 2. This day commemorates the anniversary of our nation’s first federal special education law, the Individuals with Disabilities Act, signed by President Ford on December 2, 1975. The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act made public education available to all eligible children with disabilities across the nation and ensured special education and related services were provided for those children. This law was a critical and necessary step on the path to making education and resources equitable for all children – a goal we are still working toward today. This day honors the milestones that have been achieved for special education so far and reminds us of the continued progress to come.
