2026 VSBA Showcases for Success Survey

**THE DEADLINE FOR THE 2026 VSBA SHOWCASES FOR SUCCESS INITIATIVE SUBMISSIONS IS FRIDAY, APRIL 17, 2026**

WHAT IS THE VSBA SHOWCASES FOR SUCCESS?
To elevate community awareness and generate positive visibility for public education, VSBA invites school divisions to submit programs and initiatives that exemplify excellence as “Showcases for Success.” Last year, 73 outstanding programs were profiled and shared with journalists, school board members, superintendents, legislators, and top state officials, resulting in statewide media coverage and demonstrating the powerful impact of public education across the Commonwealth. The initiative has proven to be an effective way to highlight innovation and celebrate success. VSBA is now compiling the 2026 list, and selected programs will be featured on the VSBA website in the Showcases Directory for one year.

All submissions to the VSBA Showcases for Success initiative are also automatically considered for inclusion in the highly visible Special Edition Newsletter. This dedicated publication is distributed through a statewide press release and shared with journalists, school board members, superintendents, legislators, and top state officials, providing an additional opportunity to spotlight your division’s success stories and expand their reach even further.

HOW MANY PROGRAMS/INITIATIVES CAN A DIVISION SUBMIT?
Each VSBA member school division may submit up to three programs/initiatives using this form.
