Today is National School Board Member Day. I would like to personally send a special thank you to all of Venice CUSD #3 Board members who serve on the school board to ensure all our students and staff deserve the best. Being a Board member is a volunteer position and can sometimes be a thankless job. The amount of time and effort they each put forth does not go unnoticed. If you see a Venice Board member please thank them for their time and service to Venice CUSD # students, staff and community. They deserve it. We appreciate ALL they do!

John Cortez Williams, Board President
Sean Mosby, Board Vice President
