Wabash City School Board honored by Indiana School Boards Association

WABASH, IN- The Wabash City Schools School Board has been recognized by the Indiana School Boards
Association (ISBA) with an Exemplary Governance Award (EGA) for calendar year 2023 for
demonstrating an outstanding commitment to professional learning and student success.
The Exemplary Governance Awards (EGA) are conferred annually to school boards across
four levels of distinction. Wabash City Schools Board received a Level 1 Commendable
award. This is the 2nd year in a row that the WCS Board has been recognized by the ISBA.
Board awards are based on points earned by each member for attending ISBA seminars,
workshops, conferences, and other learning events, as well as the board’s completion of
certain additional criteria, such as a retreat with an outside facilitator and goal setting to
elevate student achievement outcomes.
This year, 105 school boards are receiving awards through the EGA program.
“On behalf of ISBA, I would like to commend this most exceptional group of school boards
and school board members,” said ISBA Executive Director Terry Spradlin. “School boards
perform a vital public service for their communities, and board members who actively
participate in professional learning are better equipped to perform their duties effectively
and meet the needs of their students.”
The honorees will be formally recognized during ISBA’s Spring Regional Meetings taking
place across the state during the month of April.
