Adrian DeLeon, Coos Bay School Board member, was among 16 locally elected board members recognized Saturday, Nov. 16, with a bronze award for completing course work through the Oregon School Boards Association’s Leadership Institute. The awards, presented at OSBA’s annual convention in Portland, recognize board members for significant levels of achievement in leadership and development. There are four levels: bronze, silver, gold and platinum. Betsy Miller-Jones, OSBA’s executive director, congratulated recipients on their achievement. “School board members already put in hundreds of hours every year on behalf of Oregon’s children,” she said. “This is an extra measure of their dedication.” OSBA is a member services agency for more than 200 locally elected boards serving school districts, education service districts and community colleges. It also provides services to charter schools and their boards.
