CHECK OUT THE NEW ADTSEA NEWSLETTEREvery year, two annual awards are given. Below are the two outstanding candidates for our 2019 Fall Conference.The Distinguished Service Award, granted to someone who has demonstrated outstanding service in TSE, went to Dr. Greg Baker, who is the superintendent of the Bellingham School District. He had a vision that all high school students in his school district should have the opportunity to take TSE because it is a lifelong skill that will save many lives on our highways. The course is offered for credit, and at no-charge, in keeping with the “Bellingham Promise” that education should be free and equally accessible to all students. Stu Soderquist, who is the TSE coordinator for the Bellingham SD, presented the award to Dr. Baker.

The Cliff Boyce Award, granted to an exemplary TSE teacher currently teaching in the classroom, was presented to Jack Coburn, who is the manager of The Freedom Driving Schools in Pierce County. He was presented this award for his strong belief in parent involvement and holding students responsible for their actions. He also believes in the importance of teacher standards and a statewide TSE curriculum. The award was given by James Brooke who was last year’s recipient of this award.
