🎉 Join us in saluting the service of over 800 school board members in Virginia for School Board Appreciation Month! The 2024 theme — The Heart of Education: Our School Board — acknowledges that the school board is at the heart of the education system, guiding it with kindness and care. The month-long observance is an opportunity to build a stronger understanding of the crucial role school boards assume in a constitutional republic. School boards voluntarily tackle the enormous job of governing public school divisions, while preserving the core of our democratic values. #CPSCelebrates
