Board member recognized by KASB
Wednesday, Sept. 17, 2008
Belinda Rehmer, member of the Eudora Board of Education, was awarded Level I status by the Kansas Association of School Boards for her accomplishments in the association's Boardsmanship Academy.
Rehmer received Level I status from KASB by earning points for attending continuing education courses from KASB and the National School Boards Association. Level I status is given to board members who have earned 50-99 points by attending continuing education courses from KASB and the NSBA.
This is the 23rd year of the Boardsmanship Academy that encourages school board members to seek continuing education to help them become better board members. KASB sponsors workshops and seminars throughout the year, during which school board members receive points based on the length and content of each seminar. The points are totaled at the end of the program year and awards are presented to board members who receive at least 50 points.
"It is crucial that school board members seek ways to be informed of the ever-changing status of public education," said John Koepke, KASB executive director. "We hope to show concerned citizens, the legislature and other taxpayers that school board members are both informed about the issues and conscientious about their duties to the children of this state."
