Betsy Ames - 50 Years of Service

What does it take to be an incredible school board leader? Betsy Ames has served for 50 years! She says "In the early days of my board membership, we spent an awful lot of time on nuts and bolts, on the actual, physical running of the school,” Ames said. “I’m so happy… We are now talking a lot more about academics, about education, about what kids are learning. It’s just so exciting for me to see all of this happening.”
