Marion County School Board and Superintendent
Earn Master Board Status
Ocala, FL— Florida School Boards Association is proud to recognize the Marion County School Board members and Superintendent for earning the Master Board distinction.
Members include Chair Eric Cummings, Vice-Chair Nancy Thrower, Kelly King, Beth McCall, and Nancy Stacy. Superintendent Dr. Diane Gullett joined the district July 1 of this year.
To earn Master Board distinction, a majority of the district’s board members and the superintendent must be present for 20 training hours including a Master Board Forum. The leadership curriculum is designed to offer meaningful learning sessions concentrating on student achievement through the four pillars of the FSBA Governance Model: vision, structure, accountability, and advocacy.
“FSBA’s Master Board program is designed to ensure a school board and superintendent can work effectively, efficiently, and collectively as a governance team while maintaining a focus on student learning and factors contributing to the success of schools,” commented FSBA Executive Director Andrea Messina. “These board-superintendent teams have shown their commitment to alignment of a shared vision to ensure the desired results for their district,” she added.
The Master Board Distinction is one of several leadership development programs offered by the Florida School Boards Association to ensure board members obtain well-rounded and thorough understanding of his or her policy-making job responsibilities.
