The Millburn Board of Education is one of twenty school boards to earn this distinction awarded by the Illinois Association of School Boards (IASB). This recognition is designed to acknowledge those school boards that have engaged in activities and modeled behaviors that lead to excellence in local school governance in support of quality public education.
The application process for this recognition is rigorous and requires the involvement of board members and the superintendent over a two-year period. Evidence is shown in the areas of:
- Commitment to following IASB Foundational Principles of Effective Governance
- Connecting with the community on issues of importance to the district
- Implementation of a superintendent annual evaluation process
- Conducting regular policy reviews and maintaining an updated policy manual
- Monitoring progress toward district ends (mission/vision, goals) with the use of data
- Implementation of an orientation process for newly seated board members
- Having an agreed-upon, written and adopted Code of Conduct
- Participation in statewide IASB programs and events
Thank you for your commitment, responsibility, and dedication
to the Millburn students, staff, and community.
