December 16, 2016
Current Berkeley County School District Board Chair Sally Wofford and former Board members Jim Hayes and Julius Barnes earned recognition by the South Carolina School Boards Association (SCSBA) for achievement in the association’s 2015–2016 Boardmanship Institute.
The SCSBA Boardmanship Institute, established in 1982, offers a year-round training curriculum to help board members develop skills and stay abreast of state and national education issues. Workshops focus on school law, advocacy and legislation, improving board operations, leadership for improving student achievement, and
other timely topics.
Board members can achieve up to six levels of recognition by earning points that are accrued annually from July through June for participation in statewide conferences and training provided onsite in their district. Berkeley County School board members achieved the following award designations:
- Mrs. Wofford reached Level One by earning 25 points within one year. Level One recipients receive a certificate.
- Mr. Hayes and Mr. Barnes reached Level Two by earning 40 points within one year. Level Two recipients receive a certificate and silver pin.
