from Board of Education
Spring 2003
(back)
After 22 years of service to the Monticello School District, Jack
Leshner is retiring from the Board of Education.
At age 75, Leshner, who has dedicated his life to the field of
education, is leaving public service to spend more time with his
family.
A Monticello native, Leshner sys being a member of the Board of
Education was a great source of personal satisfaction because it
provided him with an opportunity to witness "many wonderful
educational developments in the areas of academics and
facilities."
During his tenure, which spanned from 1965 to 1970 and then
from 1986 to 2003, the Monticello High School and the new Robert
J. Kaiser Middle School were built. Additions were made to each of
the elementary buildings and numerous technological advancements
were made throughout the district.
With a sense of pride, he says, "This is one of the finest
Boards of Education in the state. Everyone on the board wants the
same thing--to provide the best possible education for our
children at an affordable cost."
