Westside Consolidated School District

The February 16, 2026 School Board Meeting recap is posted below. Thank you for your continued support of Westside Schools! https://www.westsideschools.org/page/recap-board-of-education-regular-meeting

Due to a double bus route today, Bus 76 (Racecar) students will ride with Bus 82 (Battleship). Please expect Bus 76 drop-offs to be approximately 20 minutes later than usual.

After nine years of dedicated service to Westside Schools, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to Myca Ferguson as her term on the School Board comes to a close.

At tonight’s school board meeting, Superintendent Chris George presented her with a plaque in recognition of her unwavering commitment to our schools, our students, and our entire community. He spoke about her steadfast support, thoughtful leadership, and the positive impact she has made over nearly a decade of service.

We are deeply grateful for her steadfast commitment as a true Warrior for Westside. Please join us in thanking Myca for nine years of service and dedication to our district! ❤️🤍
