November's #TeacherProud Tuesday

For this month's #TeacherProud Tuesday we are spotlighting these member districts.


Branson Public Schools


For the month of November, Branson Public Schools is thrilled to recognize Mrs. Barb Cogdill. Mrs. Cogdill has taught mathematics at Branson High School for the last 28 years. Mrs. Cogdill has positively impacted countless lives over the course of her career, including one of our district leaders. Branson High School Principal, Dr. Jack Harris, was fortunate enough to have Mrs. Cogdill as his high school math teacher. "Mrs. Cogdill is a very unique educator. You would be hard pressed to find a kinder, more prepared and genuine teacher," says Dr. Harris.

Perry County 32 School District



It's our first #TeacherProudTuesday, and we're saluting Process Coordinator Shannon Bauwens. 


"Shannon facilitates special education procedures district-wide," said Special Services Director Stacey Seabaugh. "She ensures legal compliance while maintaining individuality and adhering to specific needs of each and every student. Shannon is an advocate for students, staff, and families, and is truly passionate about our school district and its overall success." 


Congratulations, Mrs. Bauwens!
