Great Expectations School seeking school board member




Due to a mid-term vacancy, Great Expectations School (GES), School District 4100, is seeking new parent or community members for the GES school board.

The school encourages anyone interested in serving on the board to contact Sara Hingos at sara.hingos@greatexpectationsschool.com or Jeff Kern at jeff.kern@greatexpectationsschool.com.

“Serving on the board is a great way for people to use their passions and individual strengths to make a difference for students, their families, and our community,” said GES Director Peter James. “In relation to academic achievement, we see the social and emotional development of students and our being responsive to their individual needs and potential as critical elements of our philosophy. We then work to extend our learning community beyond the students, families, and staff at GES to the broader community. Building and growing this vision for education is incredibly satisfying.”

Current school board members are Sara Hingos, Jeff Kern, Mike Carlson, Sue Butter, and Kathryn Nelson- Pedersen and ex-officio members Amy Henrikson and GES Director Peter James.

The GES board normally meets the third Tuesday of each month. There is opportunity for public comment at 3:30 p.m. with the business meeting at 4:00 p.m.

For more information, call (218) 387-9322.
