Zone 5 Trustee Sharee Petersen Retires
After 15 years of dedicated service to the Rockland School District, Zone 5 Trustee Sharee Petersen is saying farewell.
Mrs. Petersen recalls when Superintendent Jim Woodworth asked her for a favor one day. She learned her lesson about saying "Yes!" before asking "What?", and found herself appointed to the district Board of Trustees in 2008. Despite her recruitment, Mrs. Petersen has faithfully served the patrons of the Rockland School District every year since. When asked what has been the most rewarding experience while serving, she says, "I've enjoyed serving the students and faculty in hopes to make our school succeed in providing the best education possible. It's also been a pleasure to rub shoulders with everyone that has served on the school board, as well as the administrators". She notes there have been challenges along the way, but with good team work they can be conquered.
We are very grateful for Mrs. Petersen's service, and wish her well in her future endeavors. Mrs. Petersen will finish her term through December 2023 and encourages patrons in to get involved.

The Board of Trustees as a whole shall have the final decision in determining the appropriateness of all such rulings. All public comment must be relevant to an item on the current agenda.
In order to ensure that everyone who comes to speak to the Board has the opportunity to do so, comments will be limited to three (3) minutes.
