Boards are back to putting forth all their effort to enhance their knowledge base.
ASBSD’s Board Recognition Program – ALL: Act, Learn, Lead – thrived in its first year and after two months of activity in 2017-18, board are back to putting up points.
Read the roundup of ALL’s 2016-17 here.
School boards earn points throughout the fiscal year (July 1-June 30) by participating in ASBSD activities, training opportunities and demonstrating leadership at the local, state and national level and are credited for GAVEL Training (face-to-face or School Board U) for a total of three years (2015-16, 2016-17 and 2017-18). Boards can earn Gold, Silver and Bronze awards for their point totals.

“We had a great first year of the ALL program and our boards are off to another great start,” ASBSD Executive Director Wade Pogany said. “We’re ecstatic about the level of participation and commitment South Dakota’s school boards are showing.”
“There are many opportunities for boards to earn points and enhance their knowledge of board work coming up and additional chances to schedule trainings with Randy.”
