The Old Saybrook Board of Education was presented with the Connecticut Association of Boards of Education (CABE) Level Two Leadership Award during the annual CABE/Connecticut Association of Public School Superintendents Convention held at the Mystic Marriott on Nov. 16 and 17.

CABE believes that boards of education and superintendents that exhibit the most effective leadership are characterized by their ability to work together as teams. The CABE Board Recognition Awards are designed to recognize boards that work effectively in this manner. To appropriately recognize those boards that are truly exemplary, CABE established a second level of awards, the Board of Distinction Award. Only Boards that have achieved Level One distinction at least twice in the prior four years are eligible to receive the Board of Distinction Award.
