Howard School Board receives state award

School board members at Howard were recently honored by the Associated School Boards of South Dakota for their collective efforts to enhance their knowledge of school board work throughout the 2021-22 school year.

The Howard School Board earned a Gold level award in ASBSD’s statewide board recognition program.  The program is called ALL, which stands for Act, Learn, Lead.  It awards points for a board’s collective participation in activities and trainings related to school board work, and for demonstrating leadership in public education at the local, state and national level, throughout the previous school year.

To earn the Gold level award, the Howard School Board accumulated 1,440 points.

In 2021-22, a record 91 public school boards – more than 60 percent of the public boards in South Dakota – earned an ALL award. This is the Howard School Board’s sixth Gold level ALL award, which is one for every year of the ALL award program.
