School Board

The South Lane School District Board has identified several strategies to engage with our schools.

 

1. The South Lane Board has assigned their members to represent the Board for each school in the district and selected programs/services areas. Our members have committed to visit the buildings and program/services as often as possible. 

 

2. The goal is to observe, listen and engage in school activities and to share with the South Lane Board to help us learn more about the schools and programs/services as well as understanding the issues, challenges and array of education activities. 

 

We would like to introduce our board and their annual assignment.
