| The patrons of the White River School District are represented by a school board of five elected directors. Each director's term is for four years, with election dates staggered so that there are always at least two experienced members serving on the board. State law requires that the district be divided into five election areas of roughly equal population and that each director live within the boundaries of his/her area. Each director does, however, represent all patrons in the district. | School Board Members Director District No. 1: John McArtor Phone: (253)862-4476 jmcartor@whiteriver.wednet.edu Director District No. 2 Susan McGuire Phone: (360)829-0655 smcguire@whiteriver.wednet.edu Director District No. 3 Denise Vogel - Board President Phone: (253)891-0538 dvogel@whiteriver.wednet.edu Director District No. 4 Joe Dieringer- Board Vice-President Phone: (360)829-1895 jdiering@whiteriver.wednet.edu Director District No. 5 Jean Lacy Phone: (253)862-9715 jlacy@whiteriver.wednet.edu FOCUS AREAS for 2008-2010 1) Determine and implement K-12 math interventions for students that are not learning 2) Increase Rigor, Relevance and Relationships, including Safe & Civil concepts for White River High School students 3) Ensure guaranteed and viable curriculum, instructional practices, staff collaboration and communication in math, reading and science across all schools for all grade levels 4) Determine “best practices” for technology use that supports student learning and seek funding to implement such practices 5) Develop and implement practices to recruit, retain and support high quality staff 6) Determine and implement practices that will provide long term financial stability for the White River School District. |
