ADVERTISEMENTS

Five urban districts will be recognized by the Council of Urban Boards of Education (CUBE) in October in Austin. The CUBE Annual Award for School Board Excellence is given out every year to a CUBE district that is working toward closing the achievement gap, has strong governance structure, a good community engagement strategy, and raising academic achievement. This year, CUBE is recognizing Atlanta, Georgia and Broward County, Florida as finalists for the award, and giving special recognition to Wake County, North Carolina, Jefferson County, Kentucky, and Baltimore City, Maryland for demonstrating and dedication to diversity and progressive leadership, respectively (press release).

CUBE’s award is in its sixth year and prior winners include Boston, Norfolk, Hillsborough County, Florida, Houston, Miami-Dade, and Brownsville, Texas. The award is a chance for districts to highlight the programs that are working well and the strides they governance team have made to serve the students in their community.
