Nominations are now being accepted for the annual REB Awards for Distinguished Educational Leadership, which honor local principals.
The Community Foundation’s awards identify, recognize and support leadership excellence in the Richmond area by providing selected principals with an unrestricted $10,000 cash grant as well as $20,000 to be used for school initiatives. The monetary amounts have increased this year.
Eligible are principals from public schools in Henrico, Chesterfield and Hanover counties and the city of Richmond.
All nominations must be submitted online by Nov. 5 at 5 p.m. To find out more and to nominate a principal, visit http://cfrichmond.org/Grantseekers/REB-Awards-for-Distinguished-Educational-Leadership.
To be eligible, principals must have served in their current capacities for at least three years at their current schools. They should effectively manage and promote excellence in education, demonstrate leadership and exemplify commitment, inspire their students, serve as advocates for their school and faculty members and meet several other general criteria.
Last year’s HCPS winner was Joy Reed, principal of Ratcliffe Elementary School.
Award recipients will be announced in March.
