Special to The Beacon The Brantley County Board of Education was recently recognized by the Georgia School Board Association as an Exemplary Board.
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. GSBA honors school boards that demonstrate strong governance, helping to create a positive educational culture that supports student learning and achievement.
The Brantley County BOE met and/or exceeded the criteria to earn the honor.
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 following requirements must be met in order for governance teams to be eligible to apply for the board Recognition Award: Training Requirements: Board members must meet all training requirements by 5 p.m., Monday, June 30, 2025.
