The Arkansas School Board Association (ASBA) announced that January is School Board Recognition Month in Arkansas.
As publicly elected school leaders, Arkansas school board members set policy for their respective districts. Under state law, they are empowered to hire and evaluate the superintendent, oversee district finances, approve the budget, and determine the vision and mission of the district. School boards must also approve the curriculum and ensure the district maintains adequate facilities for teaching and learning.
In addition to their board duties, state law requires Arkansas school board members to earn a minimum of six hours of professional development each year in areas related to their role and responsibilities.
Thank you Westside School Board members for your countless hours you give to ensure the success of our students.
Members serving our district are as follows: Jeffrey Tubbs, Sam Hiser, Myca Ferguson, Josh Cureton and Shannon Davis.
