Broward County Public Schools can add another notch to its accolades for educating students.

National School Board Association’s Council of Urban Boards of Education, or CUBE, said in a prepared statement that the district served as a role model for progress in school board governance in large urban areas and is one of two finalists in the organization’s Urban School Board Excellence award.

The School Board has “continued success and national attention for the development of community engagement policies and working to close the achievement gap, especially with limited English proficient students,” according to the statement.

CUBE plans to reveal the winning district during the annual CUBE conference Oct. 10 in Austin, Texas.
