Ray-Pec High School Student Brady Kelly recently passed his FAA Remote Pilot Certificate (Part 107). This certification is essential for anyone who wants to become a commercial drone pilot. To obtain this certification, the applicant must demonstrate knowledge aligned with the Remote Pilot Certificate with a sUAS rating and the ability to act as a remote pilot-in-command (PIC). The certification process involves taking an aeronautical knowledge exam that covers various topics, such as regulations, airspace classification, operating requirements, flight restrictions, weather, loading, performance, emergency procedures, decision-making, judgment, effects of drugs and alcohol, airport operations, maintenance, and preflight inspection procedures.
To become a commercial drone pilot, the applicant must meet certain requirements, such as being at least 16 years old, being able to read, speak, write, and understand English, and being in a physical and mental condition to safely fly a drone.

As we near the end of March, we're wrapping up our Board of Education celebration.
Last but not least, meet Board Member Bill Lowe.
He was appointed to the board in 2018 to fill a vacancy when Kim Bailey was selected to serve on the State Board of Education. He was then elected in April 2019 to his first term and re-elected in April 2022.
"I believe in the motto of service above self. The school board provides me the opportunity to serve the community of Raymore and Peculiar in an impactful way."
What is Bill's "why" for serving on the Board?
"It is my belief that when a school district provides avenues of success for each student, the community as a whole benefits. When families decide to move into communities, they often look to see what type of education the school district is providing. Our school district has always provided students with a high level of education and opportunities to learn those critical thinking skills necessary for future success. I wanted to ensure those standards continued as well as meet the needs of future industry opportunities. It is important to have leaders on the board that put the success of the district above self. There are times when decisions are made that not everyone is going to like. A leader still has to make those decisions in the context of what is best for the district as a whole."
Thank you, Bill, for your dedicated service to our District!
Girls' Soccer travels to Liberty High School tonight to take on the Blue Jays at 7:00 pm! Good luck ladies! ⚽️
