Board of Education elects officers for 2010-2011

Next year’s Board of Education officers will look the same as the previous year after Board members selected new officers for the 2010-2011 school year.

Bill Laidlaw is President, Peggy Bush is vice-president and John Nugent is secretary.

The Board also kept its regular meeting schedule of the first and third Thursday of the month. The first meeting is designated as the regular meeting and the second meeting will be the work session. Two exceptions are the July work session will not be held and the regular meeting scheduled in April 2011 will be held the last Thursday of March due to spring vacation.

Board meetings and the locations are available on the District website at lapeerschools.org and are posted at the Administration and Services Center, 250 Second Street in Lapeer.
