2022 GSBA Exemplary School Board Status

Barrow County School System is proud to announce the achievement and status of the Georgia School Boards Association’s (GSBA) 2022 Exemplary School Board recognition.

The recognition program is designed to showcase best practices in school governance and leadership. GSBA recognizes good school board governance to foster educational community cultures to advance student learning and achievement.

Barrow County School System (BCSS) met and/or exceeded the criteria set forth by GSBA to earn the honor of a 2022 Exemplary Board. The School Boards for BCSS have earned this recognition each time the award has been given to system boards since 2015.

Georgia superintendents and board members developed the GSBA Governance Team Recognition Program based on the state board of education’s standards for effective governance to recognize exemplary leadership. The GSBA Board recognition program is a three-tiered program. For more information, visit the GSBA website.
