Hall earns exemplary school board status
The Hall County School District
recently earned the Georgia School
Boards Association’s (GSBA) 2020
Exemplary School Board recogni
tion.
The recognition program is de
signed to showcase best practices
in school governance and leader
ship. GSBA recognizes good school
board governance to foster educa
tional community cultures in order
to advance student learning and
achievement.
The Hall County Schools Board
of Education met and/or exceeded
the criteria set forth by GSBA to
earn the honor of a 2020 Exemplary
Board.
“Our board of education has con
sistently worked hard to support
the students and team members of
the Hall County School District.’’
said Superintendent Will Schofield.
“It’s one thing to talk about being
the most caring place on earth and
providing rigor for all. It’s quite
another to help provide the resourc
es that allow teachers, staff, and
school leaders to make those ideals
a reality.”
The GSBA Governance Team
Recognition Program was devel
oped by Georgia superintendents
and board members based on the
state board of education’s standards
for effective governance to recog
nize exemplary leadership.
In 1998, the Georgia School
Boards Association was one of the
first school board associations in
the nation to develop a program of
standards for local boards of educa
tion.
The GSBA Board recognition
program is a three-tiered program.
For more information on the pro
gram, you may visit the GSBA web
site for awards and recognition.
No spectators at
Lanierland Basketball
Tournament
No spectators will be al
lowed at the Lanierland
Basketball Tournament.
The decision comes af
ter a meeting with Gaines
ville City Schools, Lakev-
iew Academy and the Hall
County School District
amid a rise in the number
of positive COVID cases
in the community, and with
so many schools facing the
challenge of maintaining
in-person instruction.
“Without question, this
will be a disappointment
for many, as the Lanierland
Tournament is a long-held
event that for years has
brought our community to
gether,” leaders from the
schools said. “However,
leadership from Gaines
ville. Hall and Lakeview
Academy, feel an obligation
to protect the health and
safety of the collective com
munity.”
All games will be held
at Gainesville High School
and will be live streamed.
Additionally, holding the
tournament in one location
gives local radio the ability
to broadcast all games.
Safety measures and pro
tocols will be in place for
all athletes, and an updated
schedule of game times will
be posted on the Lanierland
website in the near future.
“Gainesville City
Schools, Lakeview Acad
emy and the Hall County
School District appreciate
the patience and under
standing of all stakeholders
during this difficult time,”
leaders said. “We are all
excited to be able to host
this annual community
event in a safe manner un
der these challenging cir
cumstances, and we wish
all participants the best of
luck!”
Local student receives
CURCA mini-grant
More than a dozen stu
dents were awarded grants
from the Center for Under
graduate Research and Cre
ative Activities (CURCA)
at UNG. The annual mini
grants will fund 10 differ
ent research projects in the
areas of psychological sci
ence, chemistry, biology,
anthropology, physics and
English.
Among the 14 UNG stu
dents to receive a Center
for Undergraduate Research
and Creative Activities
(CURCA) mini-grant was
Briana Sargent of Bra
selton. Sargent, along with
Jose Izaguirre Garcia and
Lilia Saber with Dr. Ghu-
lam Hasnain were awarded
for the project: Side directed
mutagenesis studies of PyrD
and PyrR genes involved in
riboflavin biosynthesis.
The center’s mission is to
promote learning through
students’ active engage
ment in undergraduate re
search and creative activi
ties during their collegiate
careers.
Previously, CURCA
awarded its annual mini
grants to faculty members.
This year, mini-grants were
revamped and awarded to
student-led teams with fac
ulty support.
“We realized UNG lacked
a mechanism to support
student research projects
directly, so we decided
to refocus the mini-grant
awards on students.” said
Dr. Anastasia Lin, assistant
vice president of Research
& Engagement. “The grants
will allow students to learn
about professionalism and
prepare for graduate school
and the workforce. Though
each student must apply
with a mentor, the students
get the experience of writ
ing a grant and potentially
adding it to their resume,”
Students wrote research
proposals, and UNG faculty
and staff members awarded
10 projects.
