The Coffee County Board of Education announced this week its achievement and status of the Georgia School Boards Association’s (GSBA) 2015 Exemplary School Board recognition.
The recognition program was designed to showcase best practices in school governance and leadership. GSBA recognizes good school board governance to foster educational community cultures in order to advance student learning and achievement.
The Coffee County Board of Education met and/or exceeded the criteria set forth by GSBA to earn this honor of a 2015 Exemplary Board.
The GSBA Governance Team Recognition Program was developed by Georgia superintendents and board members based on the state board of education’s standards for effective governance to recognize exemplary leadership. In 1998, the Georgia School Boards Association was one of the first school board associations in the nation to develop a program of standards for local boards of education.
The GSBA Board recognition program is a three-year, three tiered program. For more information on the program, visit the GSBA website for awards and recognition to view the criteria for all tiers of the program.
