A Caldwell County Board of Education member was recognized for advanced training at a meeting Tuesday night.
Superintendent Nate Huggins acknowledged Board Member Kim Jackson for achieving a Level Two Certification in the Kentucky School Boards Association (KSBA) Academy of Studies.
According to a release Kentucky law mandates that hours of select training based on each board member’s years of service be achieved throughout their tenure. The lower levels of KSBA’s Academy of Studies include courses such as the basics of the board’s role, school finance, superintendent evaluations, and facilities planning. As a board member advances in the certification process the courses become less general and more specific to issues, such as evaluating the board’s own effectiveness, doing advanced budget planning, becoming better advocates for children, and grasping the board’s responsibilities in school and student assessment and accountability.
Established in 1936, KSBA is Kentucky’s largest organization serving local elected officials.
Superintendent Huggins presented Jackson with a framed certificate and pin recognizing her achievement at a regular meeting Tuesday night at the Caldwell County Middle School.
