MYSTIC, CT (November 22, 2022) – Waterbury Board of Education was presented with the Connecticut Association of Boards of Education (CABE) Leadership Award on Friday during the annual CABE / CAPSS (Connecticut Association of Public School Superintendents) Convention held at the Mystic Marriott.

CABE believes that Boards of Education which exhibit the most effective leadership are characterized by their ability to work together as “teams.” The CABE Board of Education Leadership Awards are designed to recognize boards which work effectively in this manner.

In order to appropriately recognize those Boards which are truly exemplary, CABE has now established a second level of awards, the Board of Distinction Award. Only Boards which have achieved Level One distinction at least twice in the prior four years are eligible to receive the Board of Distinction Award. Boards must achieve at least two Level Two items in each Level Two category to receive this award.
