School board members working to ensure educational quality
Members of the Appling County Board of Education were recently recognized for successfully completing board member training activities sponsored by the Georgia School Boards Association. Receiving certificates of recognition at the June 17 meeting of the board were members: Minnie Barnes, Scottie Ammons, Randy Crawford and Randy Sellers.
Georgia was among the first states in the nation to require that local school board members receive training to ensure quality educational leadership. Board members receive training on topics such as:
Georgia’s Quality Basic Education Act (QBE), budgeting and financing, legal and policy issues, school and community relations and the roles and responsibilities of the school board.
“By participating in training and board development activities, local school board members show their dedication to improving the educational system for the students within their communities,” said Jeannie M. (Sis) Henry, GSBA executive director. “Life-long learning doesn’t just apply to our students, it applies to all of us – especially to those in a leadership role in public education.”
