Vacancy on RKUESD Board of Trustees

The purpose of this post is to let everyone know that we presently have an open seat on the Raymond-Knowles Union Elementary School District Board of Trustees.  There were two seats that were available for the upcoming election in November.  Only one of those board seats will continue to be filled by an incumbent, Heather Abrahams.  For the other seat, there weren’t any submissions completed with the Madera County Clerk’s office.  In accordance with Education Code Section 5091, the Raymond-Knowles U.E.S.D. will appoint a representative to fill the vacancy.  In order to be considered for appointment to the board, a candidate must: 1) Submit a letter of intent; 2) Submit proof of residence in the district; and 3) Be a registered voter at least 18 years of age.  Applications must be submitted to the district office by 3:00 P.M. on October 2^nd. 

The board will interview and appoint the new member at their October board meeting, which will be held on October 9^th.  The community will have several opportunities to speak at this meeting.  Your input is highly encouraged throughout this process. 

If you or someone you know is interested in taking this position of great responsibility, please feel free to contact me in the office for additional information or to answer any questions you might have. 

Parent Communication Survey Results

As of the date of this post, only 11 families representing 25 student has completed the parent communication survey available at: https://sites.google.com/a/rkusd.org/parent-communication-survey/.  In order to get more feedback, the survey site will remain open for another week, and I will recalculate the results at that time.  Based on the surveys received thus far, the two best methods for the school to communicate information to families is via email and notes/newsletters sent home.  Please encourage your friends and neighbors to complete this survey to help the school more effectively reach our families.
