Fayette's school board members recognized by state Members of the Fayette County Board of Education were recently recognized for successfully completing board member training activities sponsored by the Georgia School Boards Association. Receiving certificates of recognition at the Aug. 20 meeting of the board were Chairman Mickey Littlefield, Vice Chairman Greg Powers, and board members Marion Key, Terri Smith and Janet Smola. Georgia was among the first states in the nation to require that local school board members receive training to ensure quality educational leadership. Board members receive training on topics such as Georgia's Quality Basic Education Act, budgeting and financing, legal and policy issues, school and community relations and the roles and responsibilities of the school board. "By participating in training and board development activities, local school board members show their dedication to improving the educational system for the students within their communities," said Gary Ashley, GSBA executive vice president. "Life-long learning doesn't just apply to our students, it applies to all of us, especially to those in a leadership role in public education."
