Longtime Carl Junction R-1 Board member honored at final meeting

(From the Carl Junction R-1 School District)

Last week, the Carl Junction Board of Education said goodbye to longtime member Claudia Cox during her last meeting.

After 18 years, Cox decided not to run for re-election. 

Though the meeting was held through the Zoom platform, Cox was at the Administrative Offices for the meeting. 

Superintendent Dr. Phillip Cook presented her with a gift from the Board of Education and the school district - a framed copy of her original sworn statement as a board member and the original copy of her father's (Perry Thomas) statement when he was sworn into service on the R-1 board in 1975.

Cox and her father served a combined 45 years on the Carl Junction Board of Education. Thank you 

to Claudia and the Thomas Family for all that you have done to support our students and staff for 45 years!!
