The Baldwin County School District today announced it has been selected as a recipient of the inaugural Leading Edge Award by the Georgia School Boards Association (GSBA).

“This is another great recognition for the leadership of our district,” said Superintendent Dr. Noris Price. “Our School Board has been working tirelessly to see that our students have every opportunity to succeed and it’s wonderful to see that work paying off and being recognized.”

GSBA states that the award is designed to recognize innovative and “out of the box” practices by governance teams and school districts. The GSBA Leading Edge Award seeks to highlight school districts who are leading the way in ensuring students are competitive in an ever-changing global market.

This unique achievement recognizes innovative design and implementation of projects and programs by local governance teams that are having a significant positive impact on student’s achievement and engagement. The award is open to any school district in Georgia.

GSBA will honor recipients on Thursday, December 5 at the GSBA Awards Luncheon beginning at 11:30 AM at the Renaissance Waverly Hotel in Atlanta.
