Six members of Florence County School District Three’s board of trustees recently earned recognition by the South Carolina School Boards Association (SCSBA) for achievement in the association’s 2018-2019 Boardmanship Institute.
Almeta Fleming and Rutha Frieson were awarded a certificate and pin for reaching Level 2. Jac’Kel Brown, Jason Kirby, Gloria Robinson and Mattie Thomas were recognized for reaching Level 1 and were awarded a certificate.
SCSBA Boardmanship Institute, established in 1982, offers a year-round training curriculum to help board members develop skills and stay abreast of state and national education issues. Workshops focus on school law, advocacy and legislation, improving board operations, leadership for improving student achievement, and other timely topics.
Board members can achieve up to six levels of recognition by earning points that are accrued annually from July through June for participation in statewide conferences and training provided in their district.
