Green Bay Area schools honor Superintendent Vicki Bayer and spotlight community partnerships
Summary
Superintendent Vicki Bayer received recognition as she prepares to leave; the district announced an endowment in her name and presented the Friend of Education Award to Robin Davis and Brown County United Way for a $450,000 investment supporting two community schools.
The board paused to recognize Superintendent Vicki Bayer’s career and announced that the Green Bay Area Public Schools Education Foundation established an endowment in her name. James said the district hosted an event honoring the superintendent and encouraged contributions to the endowment to carry her recognition beyond her tenure.
As part of recognitions, the board presented the Friend of Education Award to Robin Davis and Brown County United Way for a $450,000 investment that helped expand the district’s community school strategy to Howe and Nicolet elementary schools. The board noted increased parent engagement and expanded access to vision, dental, mental health and medical services at those sites as outcomes of the partnership. Robin Davis accepted the award and thanked staff and the foundation for the honor.
The board also recognized the second Ambassador Academy cohort by reading members’ names and invited them forward for certificates. Superintendent Bayer delivered an end‑of‑year update highlighting construction progress at Chappell Elementary, spring concerts and retirements, Destination Imagination team results, senior capstones at John Dewey Academy, and personnel changes including Melissa Wojciech’s assignment as Doty principal and Natalie Nienhaus as assistant principal.
Quote: Jeanette read the district mission aloud: "We educate all students to be college, career and community ready, inspired to succeed in our diverse world." The presentations emphasized community partnerships and staff contributions to student success.
Next steps: The district will continue partnership work supporting community schools and will publish endowment information on the district website for public contributions.
