Make Mine Top-Notch! What does it take to create a stand-out district? 
(April 2008)
What makes a school district exceptional? Is it programs to bring dropouts back to school and make sure all students receive high school diplomas? Or is it searching for a way to engage Spanish-speaking parents? Or maybe is it the district’s ability to save money with a recycling program? Yes, it’s all those things, but it’s also about how districts work, think, collaborate and engage their communities. Join ASBJ editors in discussing the best practices of districts and boards that earned Magna Awards.
