Bethel school board wins state award

The Bethel Board of Education has received a leadership award for exhibiting effective leadership through their cooperative working relationship with superintendent Kevin Smith.
The Connecticut Association of Boards of Education presented its Level Two Leadership Award to Bethel during the annual CABE and Connecticut Association of Public School Superintendents’ Convention.
Smith and board chairman Larry Craybas accepted the Board of Distinction award on behalf of the district.
CABE believes that Boards of Education and Superintendents which exhibit the most effective leadership are characterized by their ability to work together as “teams.”
In addition to the CABE Board Recognition Awards, the group established a second level of awards, the Board of Distinction Award.
That award,which was given to Bethel, is only for boards that have achieved Level One distinction at least twice in the prior four years.
