School Board members Steve Hall, Tanya Johnson and Leanaya Miller, along with Superintendent Payne, attended the annual Minnesota School Board Association 2023 Leadership Conference last week. This was a great opportunity to come together with other board members from the state and have additional learning opportunities that are vital for school board members.
There will be a panel of women in careers like construction, auto, firefighting, mining, IT, police, attorney and manufacturing.
