Board members are:  Linda Rogers, Board Chairperson (Member-at-Large), Jimmie Johnson (District 1), Landon Matthews (District 2), Mary Hinman, Board Vice-Chairperson (District 3), and Donald Brown (District 4). GSBA recognizes good school board governance to foster educational community cultures in order to advance student learning and achievement. 

The GSBA Governance Team Recognition Program was developed by Georgia superintendents and board members based on the state board of education’s standards for effective governance to recognize exemplary leadership.

In 1998, the Georgia School Boards Association was one of the first school board associations in the nation to develop a program of standards for local boards of education. The GSBA Board recognition program is a three-tiered program.  For more information on the program you may visit the GSBA website for awards and recognition or to view the criteria for all tiers of the program (https://gsba.com).
