Bryan County Board of Education was once again recognized as an "Exemplary School Board" by the Georgia School Boards Association (GSBA).

The recognition program is designed to showcase best practices in school governance and leadership. GSBA recognizes good school board governance to foster educational community cultures in order to advance student learning and achievement.

For the third year in a row, Bryan County Board of Education met and/or exceeded the criteria set forth by GSBA to earn the honor of a 2022 Exemplary Board. 

“Our current board of education is highly effective and focused on student achievement. They have a unified vision and the ability to plan for systemic success. They truly have the students and staff at the center of all decisions they make. I am honored to work alongside them as we work to continue to make Bryan County Schools the best district in the state and nation.” said Dr. Paul T. Brooksher, Superintendent.

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 program you may visit the GSBA website for awards and recognition or to view the criteria for all tiers of the program.
