Baldwin County School District earned Georgia School Boards Association’s (GSBA) 2024 Exemplary School Board recognition.
This recognition highlights the board’s commitment to continuous improvement, transparency, and collaboration, all of which play a key role in enhancing educational opportunities for every student in the district. GSBA honors school boards that demonstrate strong governance, helping to create a positive educational culture that supports student learning and achievement.
The Baldwin County School Board met and/or exceeded the criteria set forth by GSBA to earn the honor of a 2024 Exemplary Board. In order to receive exemplary status, board members must meet a variety of standards that encompass strategic planning, superintendent evaluations, board evaluations, board training requirements, board ethics, accreditation, and fiscal responsibility.
“This recognition is affirmation that our board members take their role incredibly seriously.
To earn this award a board must be cohesive and committed to the work. This proves that our board members are dedicated to our students, staff, and community,” Dr. Noris Price, Baldwin County superintendent said.
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-tiered program. For more information on the GSBA award categories, visit the GSBA website for awards and recognition to view the criteria for all tiers of the program.
