The Ware County Board of Education was recognized by the Georgia School Boards Association (GSBA) as an Exemplary School Board for 2024. This recognition highlights the board’s commitment to continuous improvement, transparency, and collaboration, all of which play a key role in enhancing educational opportunities for every student in the district. The body honors school boards that demonstrate strong governance, helping to create a positive educational culture that supports student learning and achievement. The WBOE exceeded the criteria set forth by the association to earn the citation. 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 GSBA was one of the first school board associations in the nation to develop a program of standards for local boards of education.
