Congrats to the September employees of the month! (Sorry we're a bit behind in sharing!) These awards are granted based on staff nominations; final decisions are made by the Board. These employees enjoy one month of parking in the reserved 'Employee of the Month' parking space at their building, one month of getting the 'Employee of the Month' trophy on their desk, and one month of bragging rights. Thanks for being outstanding employees! We appreciate your hard work and dedication to the district!
