SCHOOL BOARDS MEMBERS HONORED!
Aaron Wolfe and Bob Hermanson earned recognition.
DARLINGTON COMMUNITY SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS HONORED!
Darlington Community school board member Bob Hermanson and Aaron Wolfe were recognized by the Wisconsin Association of School Boards (WASB) for their commitment to the Darlington Community School District.
Hermanson and Wolfe earned this recognition by attending training opportunities by the Wisconsin Association of School Boards and/or the National School Boards Association focused on student achievement and improving public education.
WASB Executive Director John Ashley recognized Hermanson and Wolfe’s accomplishments at a WASB Regional Meeting this fall.
“I commend Bob Hermanson and Aaron Wolfe for their efforts to improve educational opportunities for the young people in the community and to diligently work at ensuring an effective governing body,” said Ashley. “I thank Mr. Hermanson and Mr. Wolfe for their work on behalf of public education in Wisconsin.”
The WASB awards points to board members who participate in WASB and NSBA (National School Boards Association) activities. These include:
• Attending or presenting at WASB or NSBA events;
• Serving on WASB committees;
• Serving on non-WASB committees on behalf of the WASB; or
• Serving as a delegate to the WASB Delegate Assembly.
A specified number of points are assigned each activity, ranging from two to 30 points.
The annual Member Recognition Program runs from July 1 through June 30, and points are cumulative from year-to-year. Each August, the WASB sends out a Member Recognition Report, which reflects WASB programs attended for that year and the total accumulated points. Mr. Hermanson has earned level Four and Mr. Wolfe has earned Level Two. Members may earn up to Level Five. Qualifying board members receive pins and certificates at their Regional Meeting that fall.
