Board Update
November 2024
Dover Schools Community Member:
We're excited to introduce another step to enhancing communication and transparency within our community. Starting this month, we'll be providing you with regular email updates following each Board of Education meeting. These brief summaries will highlight key decisions, ongoing projects, and important announcements, ensuring you're informed about the matters that affect our community. We believe this consistent communication will only deepen our connection and encourage greater engagement from all stakeholders. We value your input and encourage you to reach out with any questions or feedback.
As we head into the holiday season, I want to share my sincere gratitude for your continued support of our schools. It is an honor to work alongside such dedicated students, staff, parents, and community members. I wish you all a happy Thanksgiving filled with moments of peace, rest, and reflection.
Sincerely,
Karie McCrate
Superintendent
