Multiple trustees urged continued volunteer engagement in district activities.
The Katonah-Lewisboro Union Free School District Board of Education used part of its June 26 meeting to recognize outgoing service and to thank a student member for the year.
One trustee announced that the June 26 meeting was their last as a board member and delivered a farewell address reflecting on six years of service, gratitude to the community and staff, and pride in leading the district’s sustainability committee. "I really want to express my gratitude, firstly to the community, who trusted me to serve on their behalf for the last 6 years," the trustee said, and urged continued volunteerism.
Student board member Ian also spoke, thanking trustees and describing the role as educational and rewarding. Several trustees praised the departing trustee’s work on sustainability, noting the district’s emphasis on curriculum integration and volunteer engagement.
Speakers used the remarks to highlight a broader point about community involvement; board members encouraged families to volunteer with PTOs, boosters and other school groups and noted upcoming meetings for the summer and the Aug. 28 adoption meeting for the district safety plan.
The public meeting was adjourned to board development after brief closing remarks.
