January is School Board Recognition Month

On January 19, the Governing Board approved Resolution #09-02-19-22 Metropolitan Education District celebrates School Board Recognition Month.

Metropolitan Education District (MetroED) is proud to join more than 1,000 local educational agencies in the state to recognize board members' contributions during School Board Recognition Month. In this time of unprecedented challenges in nearly every sector of life, board members have worked tirelessly to support student learning and mental wellness in our district. "Our board members are our Champions," stated Superintendent Lynch. "They love what we do for students, and we could not ask for a more supportive team than the board members we have at MetroED."

SkillsUSA January 15, 22, 29, and February 5

SVCTE began the competition for SkillsUSA on Saturday, January 15, and will continue through each Saturday until February 5. Students compete in over 30 skill areas. Medal winners will proceed to the state level. Pictured here is Crystal Trinh from Piedmont Hills High School in the East Side Union High School District.
