New Year, A Closer look into the HSSD School Board



As 2018 comes to a close, the Howard-Suamico School Board wants to thank you for your continued trust and support.  As we prepare to bring in a new year, we want to make sure you are clear on the School Board’s role, our mission and ensure you have the visibility, aka transparency, you deserve.
School Board Role
The Board of Education acts as a whole, not as seven individuals, to ensure the success of every child through clear, concise direction to the superintendent as well as rigorous monitoring to ensure accountability.  The board charges the superintendent to focus every staff member and all resources toward a single goal - student achievement.  The superintendent receives direction from the board and authorizes the staff to implement practices, programs and activities that will provide the best education possible.  This approach allows the Board to focus its time and energy on facilitating a successful school district.

Board Mission
The mission of the Howard-Suamico School District Board of Education is to enact policies and allocate resources to develop all students' full academic potential and to promote their social and emotional growth.

We will be testing the new addresses in early January to double check that emails aren’t caught up in recipients’ spam filters. Stay tuned for updates after the
