CUBE Annual Award
CUBE Annual Award for Urban School Board Excellence
2009 CUBE Annual Award application is available now!
School board leadership is critical in guiding today’s complex urban districts. Leadership is seen on every level in a school district: teachers leading students, administrators leading schools, and superintendents leading in all capacities to make sure their district runs effectively. School Boards are instrumental in this process – by developing policies that support the needs of those who work in the district, they ensure the district’s success.
CUBE’s focus is to showcase excellence in school board governance every year by presenting the Annual Award for Urban School Board Excellence. Award winners share their ideas and promote effective techniques at CUBE conferences and through CUBE publications. These districts serve as a resource for other CUBE districts, sharing best practices to help all urban districts improve.
We encourage all CUBE members to apply—districts are judged on a variety of measures, but those who show progress, innovation, and are eager to demonstrate their knowledge are especially welcome. As CUBE districts aim for perfection, we hope to showcase and learn from their progression.
The sixth CUBE Annual Award for Urban School Board Excellence will be presented at the 2009 CUBE Annual Conference in Austin, Texas on October 10th. We hope you will join us.
