School Board Chair Marc Wisniewski sends in this message…

After a great deal of thought and reflection, I have decided that it is time for me to complete my tenure with Decatur’s Board of Education. I will not be seeking a fourth term during the upcoming election this November. I have greatly enjoyed the 12 years I have served. I am proud of the progress City Schools of Decatur has made during those 12 years and am pleased to have served a role in that progress. I have been blessed to have worked with greatly talented and dedicated fellow board members. I have been equally blessed to have had the support and encouragement of, as well as honest disagreement with, hundreds and thousands of fellow Decatur citizens. And I recognize that my role as a board member in helping govern and steer CSD is possible only because of the amazingly brilliant, passionate and caring staff that fill our classrooms, offices, locker rooms, cafeterias, hallways, buses, maintenance vehicles, fields, stages and playgrounds with leadership and care for our children every day. Finally, I want to thank my family for having supported, listened to, and counseled me, and who sacrificed and weathered many storms large and small with and for me. I look forward to continuing to support the unceasing quest for improvement that is at the core of City Schools of Decatur as a private citizen in 2014 and beyond.

The logo above now appears on the festival’s website.
