Goodbye Jamie!
Director of Schools Patrick Cripps and the Board of Education said their goodbyes to fellow board member Jamie Cripps during Thursday night’s regular monthly meeting.
For the last four years Jamie has served the fifth district as a member of the Board of Education, but she decided not to seek re-election to a new term this year. Thursday night’s meeting was her last. Jamie’s term officially ends August 31.
“We would like to recognize Ms. Jamie Cripps,” said Director of Schools Cripps. “This is her last night on the board. She has served for four years. I thought she had served without missing a meeting but she said she missed one in four years and that is a tremendous feat. On behalf of myself, the entire board, and the community that you have served, we do want to thank you Jamie for your dedication to our students and doing what you thought was best for our school system while you served,” said Director Cripps.
Her successor Megan Moore will take office September 1.
