Two Aiken County Board of Education Members have earned recognition by the South Carolina School Boards Association (SCSBA) for achievement in the association’s 2020-21 Boardmanship Institute.
The 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.
District 9 (Area 1) school board member Cameron Nuessle has earned Level Two in the Boardmanship Institute. To qualify, level two recipients must earn at least 40 points for participation in training sessions over the past year.
District 4 (Area 2) school board member Dr. Patricia Hanks has earned Level One in the Boardmanship Institute. To qualify, level one recipients must earn at least 25 points for participation in training sessions over the past year.
Level Six recipients will be presented with a plaque and pin with a clear stone during the 2022 SCSBA Annual Convention in February. Statewide, 10 school board members are up for Level Six recognition in 2020-21.
Statewide, SCSBA recognized 79 school board members for reaching one of six levels for the 2020–2021 year with certificates of achievement and a lapel pin designating their level of accomplishment in the institute.
Each year, about 80 percent of board members statewide attend at least one training session.
SCSBA is the statewide professional organization serving as a source of information, training and advocacy for the state’s 77 school district boards, county boards and state special schools.
