Eaton RESA and Grand Ledge Public Schools Board Member Honored
At the Eaton County Area School Board Association (CASBA) meeting which took place last week, Eaton Regional Education Service Agency (RESA) and Grand Ledge Public Schools Board of Education member, Denise DuFort received recognition from the Michigan Association of School Boards (MASB) for her efforts to improve leadership skills, demonstrate commitment to student achievement and her own continuous improvement.
Awards are earned for classes completed in MASB’s leadership training program, as well as for conference attendance, years of service and leadership activities.
Denise DuFort received both the Award of Merit and Certified Board Member Award and was honored by MASB at the CASBA meeting held on April 27, 2021.
This training and professional development helps board members to keep pace with the fast-moving and complex changes in public education. The hours devoted to this training are above and beyond the time board members spend at their local meetings, events and district governance work.
“We are pleased to recognize Denise’s accomplishments and her commitment to helping Grand Ledge Schools continuously improve in many ways,” said David Chapin, Grand Ledge Public Schools Interim Superintendent.
“The role of a school board member is so important yet largely overlooked by the public. Especially over the last year, schools and school board members are under pressure to be innovative in the way they deliver education and training equips our board members with the tools necessary to make the best decisions for children. The time they spend being servant leaders, improving their knowledge and skills is valued and greatly appreciated,” said Cindy Anderson, Eaton RESA Superintendent.
Eaton RESA invites members of School Boards of Education in Eaton County to come together twice per year for CASBA. CASBA participants include members of the following Boards of Education: Charlotte Public Schools, Eaton Rapids Public Schools, Grand Ledge Public Schools, Insight School of Michigan, Island City Academy, LifeTech Academy, Maple Valley Schools, Oneida District #3, Potterville Public Schools and Relevant Academy.
