Description:
February is Minnesota School Board Recognition Month.  This is the time we formally recognize our elected board members who selflessly give their time, energy, and guidance to support our students, staff, and communities.

Our EVW board members are tasked with the responsibility and oversight of a $12 million annual budget, 950 students, 140 employees and multiple facilities across the school district.  Board members are charged with making difficult decisions that require research, investigation, negotiation, and facilitation of large groups.  They bear the responsibility for developing a vision for the school district, student learning, and professional development.  Through collaboration as a team, and working with school staff, their governance and advocacy are building a bright future for educating our youth.

This February, we’re encouraging all community members to thank a board member for their service.  I’m honored to work with the following members that play a critical role in our Eden Valley-Watkins education system.
  • Jay Brovold - Chair
  • Lisa Ludwig - Vice Chair
  • Chelsie Heuring - Clerk
  • Ben Stommes - Treasurer
  • Jenny Evens - Director
  • Ann Lemke - Director
  • Vienna Meyers - Director
 
  • Personnel matters
  • Anonymous donation to Sports Complex
  • AD/Dean candidates and new hire
  • Accounting/Admin. Asst. hire
