Cyrus Reelected to WASB Board of Directors

January: Cyrus' three-year WASB term begins during the Wisconsin State Education Convention in Milwaukee.

Institutional Continuity

Cyrus has previously served on the WASB Policy and Resolutions Committee, the group that drafts the association's statewide positions. His reelection keeps a long-serving local board member in a seat that feeds into those positions.

Families in the more than 20 Region 6 school districts in western Wisconsin will have a board member on the WASB board who already knows their local districts. Parents and residents can follow the association's statewide policy work through its regional meetings.

The takeaway

Local school board members who serve on statewide committees carry their district's perspective into state policy. Following regional association meetings is one way for residents to see how those positions are set.
