Murray County Board of Education Achieves 2023
GSBA Exemplary School Board Status
The Murray County School District is proud to announce the achievement and status of the Georgia School Boards Association’s (GSBA) 2023 Exemplary School Board recognition.
The recognition program showcases best practices in school governance and leadership. GSBA recognizes good school board governance to foster educational community cultures in order to advance student learning and achievement.
The Murray County School Board met and/or exceeded the criteria set forth by GSBA to earn the honor of a 2023 Exemplary Board.
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 three-tiered. For more information on the program, you may visit the GSBA website for awards and recognition or to view the criteria for all program tiers.
Congratulations to our board, and thank you for all you do!
🌟 Happy National Boss's Day! 🌟 to Superintendent Steve Loughridge and Assistant Superintendent Dr. Tim Wright.
Managing a school district of 800 plus employees and 6700 students is a "TALL" order! Luckily, these two guys are up for the challenge!
A big thank you to these exceptional leaders for their hard work and unwavering support. We're grateful to have bosses like them at the helm, dedicated to our student's success and the betterment of Murray County Schools. #URmurray
