January 2021 Unity in our Community This past year our country, our state, and our community have faced some of the greatest challenges of our time. These challenges have affected us each differently, but perhaps the most universal emotion we have collectively experienced is a lack of control. This lack of control is something we have each grappled with, but in many ways it has highlighted the importance of unity in our community. We use the phrase “it takes a village to raise a child” in recognition of the profound impact a strong community can have on a child’s education, development and future success. In the Howard-Suamico School District, we have the benefit of not one, but two villages to aid in raising up the next generation, and that effort starts with each and every member of the community, working together toward common goals. The work of the local school district is delegated to a handful of elected officials, along with district administrators, but a school district cannot hope for long-term success without the support and input of the broader community. In HSSD, that input can take many forms, such as:
The people of our two communities represent a broad diversity of backgrounds, heritage, political views, religions and opinions, and in many ways the HSSD school board presents a smaller picture of that diversity. Your seven board members often disagree, and can hold spirited debates on some of the decisions facing us, but one of our most important policies is our Board Member Covenants (GP-9), which states, in part, that board members will “focus on issues, not people or personalities,” and “respect decisions of the full Board.” In practice, this means that we can disagree on a matter, but once a vote has been cast, we agree to move forward together in support of our goals.
