It's School Board Recognition Month, and you can be sure we are celebrating! ๐
Each week, we will introduce one or two Board members. First up is Board President Ruth Johnson!
Ruth was first elected to the Board in April 2011 and is currently serving her fifth term. She was attracted to Board service because she wanted to help the community be better.
โMy โwhyโ is to help make sure the next generation has access to what they will need to be successful. What education looks like is constantly evolving, yet stays the same. Itโs about having great teachers to make those connections to the students and the proper programming.โ
Thank you, Ruth Johnson, for your dedicated service to our District!

As we prepare to cheer for the Chiefs this weekend, we also are looking ahead to next week. As a reminder, schools are not in session on Monday, Feb. 12, for staff collaboration. If the Chiefs win on Sunday, Ray-Pec schools will not be in session on Wednesday, Feb. 14. After much discussion, it was decided that it would be difficult to maintain a normal school day due to the high number of families and staff planning to attend the Super Bowl Champion celebration activities.
Classes would be canceled. No virtual learning will occur. The Ray-Pec Administrative Services Center would be open. All school buildings would be closed. BOOST (Best Out Of School Time) would open at 8 a.m. for families who are already enrolled.
The make-up day for Feb. 14 would be on Tuesday, Feb. 20, which is currently on the calendar as a non-attendance day for students.
Should the Chiefs receive an unfavorable result, schools will be in session as usual on Wednesday, Feb. 14.
