January is School Board Appreciation Month in New Jersey and Somers Point’s City Council passed a resolution at last week’s meeting to give local members of the Board of Education their moment in the sun.
This was an opportunity to raise awareness of the roles and responsibilities of the local board of education and to thank school board members for their hard work in educating the children.
“As City Council members, we know firsthand that holding locally elected offices can be a thankless job. That’s why we are taking this time to thank Somers Point’s school board members for their hard work ensuring that all Somers Point students are learning and receiving the educational support they need,” City Council President Janice Johnston said in a news release.
Somers Point Board of Education members were invited to attend the Council meeting. School board members include:
- Board President Staci Endicott
- Board Vice President Heather Samuelson
- Nicholas Wagner
- John Conover
- Kathleen Dolton
- Judson Moore
- Alice Myers
- Karen Tomasello
During the meeting, Johnston read from the resolution passed by Council as well as from a proclamation issued by New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy recognizing January as School Board Appreciation Month in New Jersey.
