The award also recognizes their commitment to regional and statewide leadership and to active participation in legislative advocacy for public schools and the students they serve. Board President Amy Begemann earned both the Master and Advanced Certification from MSBA. Board Vice-President Barrett Glascock and Board Members Karen Bill and Chris Felmlee each received the Advanced Certification.
