The Carrollton Board of Education, for the third year, has been recognized by the Georgia School Boards Association as an Exemplary Board of Achievement. The presentation was made at the annual GSBA/Georgia School Superintendents Association annual conference held last week in Savannah.

The board has been at the forefront of earning this prestigious designation since the GSBA began the process several years ago and was one of the first 36 school districts in the state to earn Exemplary status two years ago. This recognition program is a three-tier, three-year process and is considered GSBA’s highest honor.

The board had previously earned Quality Board and Distinguished Board status in the inaugural years each of those designations being available.

A board must complete nine areas of requirement to be considered for the Exemplary Board designation. One of these includes earning continuing education credits via classes and training. Carrollton BOE members have exceeded this training requirement while achieving high marks in the other required areas.
