District Administrator's Message
As we turn the calendar to a new year we realize opportunity to reflect, celebrate, and plan ahead. As we do,
we acknowledge the efforts of school and community partners.
The month of January marks the national observance of School Board Recognition Month. This is a time to
show appreciation and begin to better understand how local boards work.
The School District of New London's Board of Education works collectively to promote the district's mission, Success for All Students, by setting and supporting the following goals within our Strategic Plan:
1. Maximize Student Achievement
2. Build Staff Capacity
3. Enhance Communication
4. Support Sustainable Practices
Our School Board members are just ordinary citizens - friends and neighbors - with extraordinary dedication to give their time and talents. They are elected to serve a three year term in which they participate in monthly Board of Education meetings and Committee sessions. You can also find these individuals volunteering in our schools and providing service to civic organizations, churches, and even other boards.
Thank you to our district's Board of Education:
Kim Schroeder: President
Virginia Schlais: Vice President
Connie Neely: Clerk
John Michels: Treasurer
Bill Schmidt: Director
Chris Martinson: Director
Mary Swifka: Director
Our gratitude extends to Charter School Boards and Advisory Councils as well as City and Municipal Boards. The dedication and advocacy for continuous improvement provides a vital service for our schools and community.
Go Bulldogs!
