"We are very appreciative to all that took the time to attend meetings; distribute information; hold focus groups; and organize community gatherings. It is because of you, and the support of our community, that we are able to move forward with support for 100 percent of our student programming.We are thrilled and we are grateful."
Trustee Betty Funny-Crosby was also re-elected with 308 votes.
