March 10-14 is School Board Appreciation Week in Georgia, and we're taking another opportunity to thank our board members for their service to our community. As constitutional officers of Georgia, school board members are responsible for setting educational policies, employing school personnel, providing buildings and equipment, operating a transportation system and disbursing school funds. As community leaders, school board members serve as advocates for the children in
local public schools and must study, evaluate and decide what actions are in the best interest of those students.
The Georgia School Boards Association sponsors School Board Appreciation Week each year. The mission of GSBA is to ensure excellence in the governance of local school systems by providing leadership, advocacy and services, and by representing the collective resolve of Georgia’s elected boards of education. GSBA has named the Carroll County Board of Education as a distinguished school board under their rigorous standards.
Thank you to our school board members for what you do to positively change lives every day!
