This past Monday, December 14th, I attended a public board meeting of the Jefferson County Schools. These meetings are open to the public and provide a great way for citizens to participate in this vital community resource. Our children are our future, and education is one of the key factors in determining their future success life. The meeting was run very professionally and parents were able to voice their opinions and concerns and have them addressed by the board. I would like to congratulate the board for having won a competitive bid for a grant for distance learning. This grant amounted to $497,920 and was presented at the meeting by the USDA Rural Development director, Robert Lewis.
