HERD

To the Editor: I like to think globally and act locally, so I have always paid attention to my local elected officials to see how I am being represented,

After first being appointed to the school board to fill a vacant seat in January 2020, and then officially being voted onto the board in the November election, Herd was unanimously appointed president during its meeting Monday, Jan. 11. “First of all, I’m honored to be on the board,” Herd said. Also elected to officer positions were former president Margaret Weertz — who nominated Herd for the position — as vice president, Chris Lee as secretary and Colleen Worden as treasurer. The determined firm will then conduct the superintendent search with input from the board and public. Among these focuses for Herd is bettering the communication among board members, as well as between board members and the community.
