School Board Honored

Middlebury School Board Members Honored by Indiana School Boards Association

The Middlebury Community Schools Board of Trustees has been recognized by the Indiana School Boards Association (ISBA) with an Exemplary Governance Award for the year 2023 for demonstrating an outstanding commitment to professional learning and student success.

Board awards are based on points earned by each member for attending ISBA seminars, workshops, conferences, and other learning events, as well as the board’s completion of certain additional criteria, such as a retreat with an outside facilitator and goal setting to elevate student achievement outcomes. Honorees were formally recognized during ISBA’s Spring Regional Meeting on April 17th in Plymouth.

“On behalf of ISBA, I would like to commend this most exceptional group of school boards and school board members,” said ISBA Executive Director Terry Spradlin. “School boards perform a vital public service for their communities, and board members who actively participate in professional learning are better equipped to perform their duties effectively and meet the needs of their students.”

Board members from left to right are: Mike Varner, Caleb Mast, Kate Hummel, Gregg Eash, Don Anderson.
