Ventura School Board member Carol Prescott recently received the Iowa Association of School Boards’ highest honor for an individual school board member.      
    “Carol is one of more than 100 Iowa school board members who went over and beyond the call of duty, taking additional time outside their busy lives, to ensure they have the necessary knowledge-base to affect student achievement in their districts,” explained Mary Jane Vens, director of board development for IASB.
    Prescott earned the honor by participating in board development activities as part of the IASB Better Boardsmanship Awards program.  Board members earn points toward the award by participating in state and national school board educational workshops and conferences, serving as local board president and as speakers or panelists.
