2025 VSBA Showcases for Success

WHAT IS THE VSBA SHOWCASES FOR SUCCESS?
As a means of encouraging community awareness and positive press coverage of public education, the VSBA invites school divisions to recommend programs and initiatives that serve as appropriate “Showcases for Success” in public education. Last year, 92 programs were profiled and shared with journalists, school board members, superintendents, legislators, and top state officials. This initiative generated statewide press coverage and proved to be an effective tool for disarming critics of public education. We are now compiling a new list for 2025, and these successful programs will be showcased on the VSBA website throughout the year.

HOW MANY PROGRAMS/INITIATIVES CAN A DIVISION SUBMIT?
Each division may submit up to 3 programs/initiatives via this form.

**If you are submitting for the VSBA Showcasing Innovation Award, please read the directions carefully when filling out the submission form.
