January is School Board Appreciation Month and Pioneer Technology Center (PTC) recognized their dedicated board members during this week’s PTC Board of Education meeting. Each board member was presented with an herb, butter candle made by students in the Culinary Arts program for recognition of their service.
School board members serve as a vital link between the community and the tech center, establishing policies that shape the future of education in the district. The Pioneer Tech Board of Education meets monthly on the second Tuesday to ensure the continued success of PTC’s programs and services.
“Our school board members dedicate their time and talents to guide our district with vision and purpose,” said Traci Thorpe, Superintendent/CEO of Pioneer Tech. “Their commitment to our students, staff, and local industries drives progress and ensures our programs continue to meet the needs of the community. We are incredibly grateful for their service and leadership.”
The board members serving Pioneer Tech include JD Soulek, Blackwell; Gay Norris, Ponca City; Rachel Shuey-Bunney, Tonkawa; Debbie Leaming, Newkirk; and Laurence Beliel, Ponca City.
