The GSBA, Exemplary Board process, seeks to instill a sense of transparency and challenge the status quo. This recognition is evidence of our continued commitment to the Colquitt County students, staff, parents and citizens.”

Georgia Superintendents and board members developed the GSBA Governance Team Recognition Program 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 program, you may visit the GSBA website for awards and recognition or view the criteria for all program tiers.
