School Board Leaders Recognized in January
Dedicated to public education, school board members across the state are committed to providing every opportunity possible to students in their community. January is School Board Recognition Month, providing local schools and communities the chance to honor Oklahoma’s more than 2,500 elected school board members for their dedication and service.
Perry Public School District currently has five school board members:
Jason Proctor - President, Seat 5
Aaron Frable - Vice President, Seat 1
Marsha Hartwig - Clerk, Seat 3
Marvin Dement - Member, Seat 2
Robyn Mangum - Member, Seat 4
Collectively, they have served more than 45 years combined on the Perry Board of Education.
At Perry Public Schools, school board members support 1,000 students, 140 employees, all facilities, finances, school bonds, hiring personnel, listening to concerns, and planning for the future. They bear the responsibility of developing policies, safety protocols, and making tough decisions on complex educational and social issues impacting the entire community.
The time spent in board meetings represents just a small fraction of the hours school board members spend leading the district. They also attend seminars and training sessions to keep up with the latest trends in educational leadership, not to mention their involvement in community activities and school extracurricular events.
Even though there’s a special effort during the month of January to show appreciation for our school board members, their contributions reflect a year-round effort.
“We are proud of our school board members and the dedication they have to making our district the best it can be. Their time and efforts on the Board are testament of their commitment to student success, and we are very grateful for their service,” says PPS Superintendent Chad Wilson.
The Perry Board of Education members were celebrated during the monthly school board meeting on Monday, January 12, 2026. Board members received cards signed by students and staff and a handmade poster by students, which they are pictured with.
