The Clarkston School Board and three individual members were recently honored by the Michigan Association of School Boards for their efforts to improve leadership skill.
The school board was only one of three boards state-wide to be honored and receive the Honor Board Award for every member completing basic MASB certification classes, which requires 30 hours of training in subjects ranging from school law and finance to community relations.
Additional awards were presented to three Clarkston board members who went beyond the basic training. The board members were three of only 23 board members honored statewide.
Trustee John Koval received the Certified Board Member Award for completing nine 100-level CBA classes.
Trustee Barry Bomier received the Award of Distinction for completing four 200-level CBA classes and earning 208 education credits.
Vice President Stephen Hyer earned the Master Board Member Award for completing nine 200-level CBA classes and earning 368 education credits.
