The Wisconsin Association of School Boards has designated Oct. 1-7 as Wisconsin School Board Week as a time to build awareness and understanding of the vital function an elected board of education plays in our communities. Ithaca Public Schools is joining all public school districts across the state to celebrate Wisconsin School Board Week to honor local board members for their commitment to the Ithaca community and its children.
School board members devote hours of their time each week to provide leadership for our school district. This week is Wisconsin School Board Week so take time to thank a school board member today! Thank you to the Ithaca School Board of Education members: Joe Brown, Robert "Bob" Buscher, Kelly Feryance, Becca Keller, Randy Manning, Linda Peterson, and Martin "Marty" Richards. Thank you for all you dedicate to our district and students!

I have confirmed through testing this morning that our phone line issue still has not been resolved. According to Frontier, it's being worked on currently.

Here is a recap of the effects of this widespread interruption of service:
We cannot dial out to cell phones
We cannot dial out to long distance exchanges
Long distance cannot reach us
Cell phones cannot reach us
Thanks, Adam.
