We Need Your Award Nominations

ISBA has developed several awards and certificates in an effort to recognize board & community members who put forth extra time and effort to become leaders in our education system. Encouraging the continued education of both community and school board members, ISBA hopes to highlight the importance of leading by example as well as recognizing local commitment in Idaho communities.
