The Aptitude Award is a component of the OSBA STAR (Service, Training, Aptitude, Recognition) Award program, which acknowledges the dedication and skills of individual school board members. This recognition highlights Herrera's exceptional contributions to the board and his commitment to educational excellence.
The Goshen Local Schools Board of Education has a strong history of recognition, with members consistently demonstrating their effectiveness in areas such as clear goal-setting, unified teamwork with the superintendent and administration, and fiscal accountability.

Superintendent Brian Bailey expressed his pride in the board's accomplishments, stating, "This award confirms what those of us in Goshen already know: We have a terrific school board. We are particularly proud of Bill Herrera's recognition and are grateful for all of the work our board members do and the thoughtful consideration they give to each decision they make for our school district."
