award
GROTON — The Putnam Board of Education was presented with the Connecticut Association of Boards of Education (CABE) Level Two Leadership Award during the recent annual CABE / CAPSS (Connecticut Association of Public School Superintendents) Convention.
The convention was held in Groton in November.
CABE believes that boards of education and superintendents which exhibit the most effective leadership are characterized by their ability to work together as “teams.”
The CABE Board Recognition Awards are designed to recognize Boards which work effectively in this manner. In order to appropriately recognize those Boards which are truly exemplary, CABE has now established a second level of awards, the Board of Distinction Award.
Only Boards which have achieved Level One distinction at least twice in the prior four years are eligible to receive the Board of Distinction Award.
 Boards must achieve at least two Level Two items in each Level Two category to receive this award.
The Connecticut Association of Boards of Education (CABE) serves local and regional school districts in Connecticut and is dedicated to improving the quality of education throughout the state and the nation.
 CABE’s membership includes 154 school districts.
CABE is a leading advocate for public education at the State Capitol and in Washington D. C., and offers many types of support services to local boards of education.
That includes the Board Member Academy, a continuing education program for local board of education members.
