Schools Honored Are Making "Significant" Academic Gains
SAN DIEGO -- Ten schools in the San Diego Unified School District have been
honored with Title I Academic Achievement Award for 2010.
The schools are: schools of Digital Media and Design and International
Business at the Kearny High Educational Complex; elementary schools Crown
Point, Florence, Jones, Mason, Ocean Beach and Pacific Beach; and charters
Preuss School UCSD and King/Chavez Primary Academy.
"This is a great testament to the dedication of our principals, teachers and
staff members," said Bill Kowba, Interim Superintendent. "Their efforts
during these hard times are to be commended.
"We also have to recognize the hard work on the part of the students and
their families. After all, it's the students' work that we measure."
Title I Academic Achievement Awards are given annually to schools who
receive federal funds under the Title 1 program, a federal program which
helps students living below or near the poverty level. The extra funding is
used by schools in a variety of ways.
To win this award, the school shows that students are making significant
progress toward proficiency on California's academic content standards,
meeting state targets for two consecutive years.
Each principal received a call from Jack O'Connell, state schools chief.
They will be treated to a state-funded reception and banquet at the
Disneyland Hotel in April.
