The Missouri School Boards' Association recently recognized Reeds Spring board members Perry Phillips and Amanda Rogers.
Phillips, the board president, has achieved Distinguished Board Member Certification from MSBA. That means he earned at least 60 training credits, completed annual refresher training as required by law, read a book related to school board service, observed a board meeting in two other districts, attended at least two MSBA regional or statewide events, and demonstrated leadership, advocacy and presentation skills in a variety of activities related to school board service.
Rogers has achieved Advanced Board Member Certification. That means she earned at least 12 additional training credits, completed annual refresher training through MSBA, read two books related to school board service, attended at least two MSBA regional or statewide events, and wrote an essay relating to board service.
All of this is above and beyond the 18 ½ hours of training required by the Outstanding Schools Act of 1993 for new board members.
Phillips and Rogers were recognized at the MSBA Summer Summit in Branson on June 17. The Missouri School Boards’ Association is a private, not-for-profit organization that exists to help public school boards ensure all students succeed.
