: BoardBuzz: NSBA's Daily Weblog2011 Magna Awards: nominate a school district for its innovative best practices
The Magna Awards recognize school districts across the country for outstanding programs that advance student learning and encourage community involvement in schools. As school districts face unprecedented financial challenges, the Magna Awards are an opportunity to showcase innovation and the bold steps that school leaders take every day. The deadline for nominations for the 2011 Magna Awards is Friday, October 29. So if your district hasn’t applied, it’s not too late.
The American School Board Journal initiated the Magna Awards in 1995 to recognize school boards for taking bold and innovative steps to improve their educational programs. An independent panel of school board members, administrators, and other educators selected the winners.
Also take a look at the new, searchable Magna Awards Best Practices Database, where you can browse through past Magna winners and other high-scoring programs for innovative best practices, proven and practical solutions, and new ideas.
