Vermilion Schools - Board of Education

"We're teaching the future"

Dale Dawson

I am very thrilled to serve as one of your Vermilion Local School Board Members.

I am very thrilled to serve as one of your Vermilion Local School Board Members. Our District has been blessed with a very good public school system and I look forward to working along side my fellow Board members in our efforts to continue the District's tradition of excellence. Ultimately, the performance of our schools is built from our vision of what our school district and students can and should achieve. I believe our schools can achieve the very best; indeed, we shouldn't settle for anything less. My goal is to constantly seek to establish and then maintain open and honest communication with, and between students, parents, district employees and community groups at all times. In the coming weeks, months and years, I hope to get to know all of you better. I encourage you to call or email me with any questions or concerns you might have. I look forward to hearing from you.
