RCS School Board Honored by Indiana School Boards Association
The RCS School Board has been recognized by the Indiana School Boards Association (ISBA) for demonstrating an outstanding commitment to student success and good governance.
ISBA’s Exemplary Governance Awards (EGA) program annually honors school boards that engage in professional learning and development in their role as leaders of public education.
This year, 106 school boards are receiving awards through the EGA program. All of the honorees will be formally recognized during ISBA’s Spring Regional Meetings taking place across the state during the month of May.
“School boards perform a vital public service by acting on behalf of the state and the community as the local policy-making body for their schools,” said ISBA Executive Director Terry Spradlin. “It is important for school board members to actively participate in continuing education in order to perform their duties effectively.”
In addition to the board-level awards, 197 school board members received individual awards.
ISBA provides a full range of professional learning opportunities at dozens of events throughout the year to inform and educate school board members about best practices, legislative issues, policy development, school law, and more.
For more information about ISBA’s EGA program requirements and to see the full list of individual and board award recipients for the 2022 award year, please visit https://www.isba-ind.org/ega-awards.html.
