Jayton School board working together to serve kids

Each year school boards across the state are charged with working with the superintendent of the district as a “Team of Eight” to serve the needs of the community in providing education for the kids in their respective district. At JGISD, we are very fortunate to have school board members who are dedicated and willing to do whatever it takes to help our kids. One example of this is the completion of the “Team of 8” training. This is a three-hour training that involves looking at many aspects of the district and working to build the best “Team of Eight,” which includes the seven school board members and the superintendent.
