The Arkansas School Boards Association (ASBA) announced that January is School Board Recognition Month in Arkansas. School board members play an essential role in our schools and community. Ouachita River School District will join other districts in Arkansas in celebration of our board by thanking them for the time, talents, and knowledge they bring to our district and for their commitment to the families and children of our community.

Jerrall Strasner, ORSD Superintendent stated, “ On behalf of the ORSD family and community, our deepest gratitude and appreciation is extended to the Ouachita River School District School Board members whose commitment and dedication is to our mission: Providing a safe, caring environment where everyone learns and grows in order to be prepared for life. Our board members are involved and committed to our community by investing their time, knowledge and support to provide an enriching educational experience that impacts the lives of our students and families. Please join us in saying “thank you” to our school board members.”

Mr. Strasner added that elected school board members give our citizens and constituents a voice in education decision making. “While we make a special effort to show our appreciation in January to recognize our dedicated board members, their contribution is a year-round commitment.”

The board members serving our district are as follows: (photo back row, l to r) Gene Monk, Jason Neugent, Chris Tedder. (front row, l to r) Annette Hays, Lana Philpot, Cheryl Boyd, Rhonda Anderson.
