Bonnie B. Carney Award of Excellence for Educational Communications
In recognition of the good work that is being done on a daily basis, CABE established the Awards of Excellence for Educational Communications in 1975. Effective communications with parents and taxpayers in a school district is a very significant part of the district's operation. It is important for the community to be aware of the exciting activities and events taking place in our schools each day.
In 2016 the award was renamed in honor of longtime CABE staff member Bonnie B. Carney, who spent much of her 47 years at CABE focused on communications.
Congratulations to the school districts which won awards in CABE's Award of Excellence for Educational Communications contest. If you have any questions call the CABE office at 860-571-7446!
