Two Wayland Board of Education members earned awards from the Michigan Association of School Boards last year for their efforts to improve their leadership skills, demonstrating their commitment to student achievement and their own continuous improvement.
Awards are earned for classes completed in MASB’s leadership training program, as well as for conference attendance, years of service and leadership activities.
The following were honored by MASB:
• Daniel Cassini — Level 1- Certified Board Member Award and Level 2- Award of Merit.
• Becky Hohnke — Level 1- Certified Board Member Award and Level 2- Award of Merit.
MASB training and professional development help board members to keep pace with the fast-moving and complex changes in public education. Last year, more than 1,800 school board members statewide participated in MASB’s professional development program for elected school leaders.
The hours devoted to this training are above and beyond the time members spend at their local meetings, events, and reviewing policies and board packets.
These board members were recognized by Superintendent Tim Reeves at the board meeting Monday, March 13, and they will be recognized at the Allegan County School Board Association dinner later this spring.
