2. According to Iredell Free News, "Mooresville Graded School District is recognizing the contributions of MGSD board members in January, which has been designated School Board Appreciation Month. Chair Greg Whitfield, Vice Chair Kerry Pennell and board members Rakeem Brawley, Debbie Marsh and Roger Hyatt work to provide the best possible education for MGSD students by helping the district navigate the many challenges in public education.
   A school board’s main objective is to support student learning and achievement. The MGSD school board, along with staff and community members, is currently working on a new five-year strategic plan to assist in meeting that objective. The efforts of school board members often go unrecognized. While January is officially School Board Appreciation Month, MGSD recognizes that its school board members contribute to the district’s success every month." (Iredell Free News)
