Board Members Retire
The Miller County School System paid tribute to two retiring School
Board members Monday, December 5th 2022.
Vic Fleet District 2 and Rick Little District 4 attended their last Miller
County School Board meeting Monday, December 5th. Prior to the Board
meeting, a reception was held in honor of the two retiring Board members. The reception was attended by a host of Miller
County staff, family and friends.
Vic Fleet represented the citizens of District 2 as their Board
member for 8 years 2015-2022 and will be replaced by Jason Cox. Rick Little represented the constituents of
District 4 as their Board member for 11 years 2012-2022 and will pass the mantel
to Jason Suggs. Serving at different times, Vic and Rick have both been
chairman and co-chairman of the Miller County School Board.
A tribute to both members came from Mr. Shane Miller, Miller
County Schools Superintendent. Fleet and Little were each presented a memento
of their years with the Miller County School Board by Superintendent Miller. “Miller
County has been blessed with good leadership,” Miller said, “never forget the
difference you’ve made.”
These two Board members have a lasting legacy in the Miller
County School System. Mr. Fleet is a lifetime
resident of Miller County; he owns and operates Rolling Hills Farms. He is married to Jackie Cofty Fleet and they
have two children: Jackson (Jenna) and
Victoria Fleet. Mr. Fleet, his wife Jackie,
and both of his children are graduates of Miller County High School. Several projects have come to fruition
courtesy of Mr. Fleet. He donated his
time and resources by undertaking the planning, development, and implementation
of several sports playing field projects as well as several land management
projects for the school system.
Mr. Little has been a Miller Countian for 34 years. Currently he serves on several boards of
directors and is married to Suzette Foster Little. They have two children: Mandy Little Long (Trey) and Chad Little (April). The couple have four grandchildren: Ty &
Fletcher Long and Maddie & Ada Britt Little. Both of their children and one grandchild are
graduates of Miller County High School. Also Suzette taught in the Miller
County School System for ten years. Rick
and Suzette are generous donators of time and resources to the Miller County
FFA and the FFA Alumni Association.
These gentlemen have a stake in the Miller County School
System. Thank you gentlemen for your
service and dedication.
Immediately following the reception, the regular Miller County
School Board meeting for the Month of December was called to order.
