The board of education has met or exceeded the criteria set for by GSBA for 2016 to be honored as an exemplary school board and the announcement came on Dec. 7. "I am grateful to work with a governance team that comes together to make decisions that benefit the children of Dawson County," said Superintendent Damon Gibbs.
