They say a person’s true character is revealed in times of crisis. That a crisis doesn’t build character, it reveals it. One could argue that schools have been making the impossible possible for quite some time, but this year’s pandemic has raised that bar to an all new high and shone a light on the essential role our schools play in our communities.  

At the December 08, 2020 Board of Education meeting, we recognized outstanding 27J staff members who have gone above and beyond in responding to the challenges of COVID-19.
