DERBY - The Derby Board of Education was recognized Thursday by the Connecticut
Association of Boards of Education (CABE) for receiving the Bonnie B. Carney Awards
of Excellence for Educational Communications.
The Connecticut Association of Boards of Education is celebrating Board of Education
Member Appreciation Month in March, and is asking all citizens to join them in building
awareness and understanding of the vital function an elected board of education plays in
our society.
Superintendent of Schools Matthew Conway said, "I ask you to join me in recognizing the incredible work of the Derby Board
of Education and thank them for their relentless pursuit of excellence for your child and
this city. They selflessly sacrifice their time and countless hours listening, learning,
researching and advocating for what is best for our kids, our district, our city and this
family.
"Through the leadership and guidance of Chairman Jim Gildea and the trust and support of
the members of the Board, every administrator, teacher, staff member, and student is
given a voice, so together, as a family, we continue to improve and make decisions that
are best for our kids."
Gildea said, "This board has a clear and consistent track record for putting the
interests of our children at the center of all that we do. We are a committed team of
individuals who combine our collective experiences to always ensure the school system
has the tools they need to keep moving the bar higher. It is an honor to serve with such
dedicated people."
Please reach out and thank a board member today. It is a small but meaningful gesture of
the gratitude we have for their service."
This is a press release from Superintendent of Schools Matthew Conway.
