School Board Honors Retirees, Introduces Homeschooling Policy
The Woodbury School Board recognized multiple retiring employees and conducted the first reading of a new homeschooling policy during its June 24 meeting.
District 62 honored retirees from various positions including teachers, support staff, and specialists. Among those recognized were Bob Vidic, music teacher Beth Jula from Richardson Elementary, and Miss Savage. Board members shared personal appreciation for several retiring staff members during the recognition ceremony.
Board member Michelle noted her connection to Vidic, who worked closely with the board when she first joined, and praised Jula for teaching her three children to play recorder at Richardson Elementary. Another board member recalled how his son Graham still speaks regularly about Miss Savage, despite not having interacted with her for five years.
The board also conducted the first formal reading of Policy 611 on homeschooling, a new policy that does not currently exist in the district. The policy is being developed using a Minnesota School Boards Association model policy template.
The homeschooling policy will be brought forward for adoption at an August business meeting. No questions were raised about the policy during the initial reading.
