Did you know it is Board Clerk Appreciation Day? Neither did we until the Kansas Association of School Boards made it official today.

We are lucky to have one of the best at USD 379 in August Clark! She is the steady presence behind every meeting, the keeper of process, history, and compliance, and often the quiet bridge between boards, superintendents, staff, and communities. August manages details most never see, navigates tough moments with professionalism, and does it all with care, patience, and integrity.

THANK YOU, August, for all you do! #celebrate379
