Board recognizes long-serving staff and retirees across departments
Summary
The board read citations recognizing five district employees for retirement: occupational therapists Pat Beckman (13 years) and Laurie Rogers (7 years); Janet Locke (37 years teaching, primarily at the high school); Wendy Bublitz (26 years, health secretary); and Lisa Chassell (36 years, student nutrition).
The board took a moment to recognize five district employees who are retiring. The superintendent read remarks submitted by colleagues honoring each person's service:
- Pat Beckman, occupational therapist, 13 years of service; recognized along with colleague Laurie (Lori) Rogers; both praised for their work with students on fine motor skills, sensory regulation and independence-building. - Laurie (Lori) Rogers, occupational therapist, 7 years of service (recognized together with Beckman). - Janet Locke, teacher, 37 years of service (middle school, ELC, and primarily Winona Senior High School); colleagues commended her long service and student-centered approach. - Wendy Bublitz, health secretary at Jefferson, 26 years of service; acknowledged for her care and calm presence in the health office. - Lisa Chassell, student nutrition worker (district nutrition staff), 36 years of service; noted for decades of service in nutrition programs and connections with students.
No formal action was required; the board read the provided remarks and expressed appreciation for the retirees' service.
