School board honored
"Citizens elect board members to represent the community's voice on education matters and to set the vision for the school district," said Superintendent Butch Frye. "Our board spends countless hours fulfilling its responsibilities and working together to continually improve our education system." The members serving our school district are John Neighbors, chair; Burley Page, vice chair; George Archie, Loy D. Cowart, Frank Ellis, Nick Kraus and John Torpy. As constitutional officers of Georgia, school board members are responsible for setting educational policies, employing school personnel, providing buildings and equipment, operating a transportation system and disbursing school funds. As community leaders, school board members serve as advocates for the children in local public schools and must study, evaluate and decide what actions are in the best interest of those students. The Georgia School Boards Association (GSBA) sponsors the celebration. The mission of GSBA is to ensure excellence in the governance of local school systems by providing leadership, advocacy and services, and by representing the collective resolve of Georgia's 180 elected boards of education.
