District celebrates School Board Recognition Week

Oct. 19, 2009 – To celebrate New York State’s annual School Board Recognition Week, Oct. 19-23, students, staff and community members are invited to enjoy refreshments provided by the PTSO during the board's Oct. 20 meeting.

Residents are encouraged to attend the meeting at 7:30 p.m. in the Duanesburg High School library.

This special week is designated by Governor David Paterson to commend school board members for their dedicated service to the children of New York State.

Duanesburg's seven-member board consists of President Carlos Moreno, Vice-President Bridget Holmes, Paul Munson III, Christina Loukides, Cecilia Tkaczyk, John McKeeby and Henry "Gus" Geidel.

Board members are elected by the community to serve three-year terms without pay. They generously volunteer their time and energy to improve the education offered to students in the district while also balancing the cost to taxpayers.

The meeting will also feature a special visit from students enrolled in the high school's new "Life in the ER" course taught by health teacher Maureen Moffett. Come hear directly from the students about this interactive course.
