If unity is missing it becomes painfully obvious.
It has literally been too long since that unity was actually present in Ira on the school board. But finally, by the grace of God unity as been restored.
That doesn't mean that each member totally agrees with every other board members on an issue. They still differ, but they respect those differences.
Each member has things he desires to see happen and has things he desires to protect but no other member hinders that, they enlighten, they give perspectives that were lacking, they vote for, they vote against. They move forward.
They one thing they agree on unanimously is the opportunity for each student of Ira I.S.D. to receive the best education possible.
Meet the Ira School Board. They are: Shawn McCowen, secretary; Jason Spradlin; Chuck Barbee; Dennis Taylor, president; Dirk Dunn; J.J. Caswell, vice-president; William Cotton.
In a couple of the pictures we added administration members Dale Jones, Principal; Morgan Preston, Financial Officer; Jay Waller, Superintendent.
These people are local, they are here. They are present and they are family oriented and they are completely approachable. Issues, problems and victories are what they are here for. As voters and residents of the Ira School District they care.
This is a good team.
