**Rick Retires!** After four years of dedicated service as our CPCSC Communications Coordinator, Rick Hightower is retiring. During his time with us, Rick was responsible for managing all of our social media platforms, capturing thousands of photos, and posting stories that provided families with a glimpse into the happenings at our schools. He also sent out important messages through ParentSquare and social media, and acted as our liaison with the media, coordinating their visits to cover significant educational events. With 25 years of experience as a television news reporter and 14 years in public communications, Rick has made a remarkable impact. He and his wife, Cathy, are relocating west to be closer to their six children and 18 grandchildren. We wish you the best in your retirement, Rick!

The Clark-Pleasant Community School Corporation School Board has been recognized by the Indiana School Boards Association (ISBA) with an Exemplary Governance Award (EGA) for calendar year 2024 for demonstrating an outstanding commitment to student success and professional learning. Only 124 school boards in the State of Indiana earned awards through the EGA program this year. The awards are conferred annually across four levels of distinction based on the points earned by school board members for attending ISBA seminars, workshops, conferences, and other learning events, as well as the completion of certain additional criteria, such as a retreat with an outside facilitator and goal setting to elevate student achievement outcomes. “On behalf of ISBA, I would like to commend this most exceptional group of school boards and school board members,” said ISBA Executive Director Terry Spradlin. “School boards perform a vital public service for their communities, and board members who actively participate in professional learning are better equipped to govern effectively and meet the needs of students.” Award recipients were formally recognized at ISBA’s Spring Regional Meetings during the month of May. In addition to the board-level accolades, 239 school board members earned individual EGA awards. ISBA provides a full range of professional learning opportunities at dozens of events throughout the year to inform and educate school board members about best practices, legislative issues, policy development, school law, and more. For a complete list of individual and board award recipients for the 2024 award year, please visit https://www.isba-ind.org/ega.html.
