In honor of National School Board Recognition month (January), we’d like to pay tribute to our MUSD governing board. School board members shoulder enormous responsibilities and have an essential role in the success of a district. Every student and staff member benefits from the tireless work and countless hours contributed by these local citizens who work without pay. Board members, thank you for caring about our students and staff. Your service is truly appreciated.❤️
