TRE Adopts School Board Member Mr. Dale Barton as Honorary Temperance Road Tiger

The National School Boards Association (NSBA) initiated National School Board Recognition Month in 1995 when its Delegate Assembly adopted a resolution for school board recognition month. States followed suit by dedicating a time of the year to recognize the contributions of local board members. In Bedford, we recognize our board members during the month of January for their outstanding service to our community and school system. Each school “adopts” a school board member for the month and that school board member is officially recognized by each school during the January board meeting and then that particular board member visits and participates in school activities at their adopted school. Mr. Dale Barton is our adopted school board member and today he made a special visit to our school to spend time with both students and staff. Mr. Barton spent time with our staff at our staff breakfast, did a Q/A time with all of our student council members, and visited classrooms throughout the school. We had a great time with Mr. Barton and appreciate all he does for our school district. We would not have outstanding schools without the dedicated service of our board members!


Mr. Barton speaks to TRE student council members and tells a little about himself and his responsibilities as a Bedford School Board member.
