School Board Appreciation Month

In honor and gratitude to the more than 800 school board members, June 2024 is School Board Appreciation Month in Idaho.

This annual event provides each of us with the opportunity to honor the important role and dedication of our local school board members and express our thanks and gratitude for their public service.

School Board Recognition Month honors the countless hours of service made by the unpaid elected volunteers who serve on Idaho’s local school boards. These local leaders give their time and energy to tackle budgets, oversee the management of Idaho’s public schools and charter schools, and serve their local communities.
