National award honors school improvements
Comments 0 | Recommend 0The Dysart Unified School District has received the Model District Award from the North Central Association Commission on Accreditation and School Improvement. Dysart received the award in recognition of outstanding progress by an Arizona school district.
NCA awards the Model District Award in recognition for long-term contributions to quality school improvement. NCA documents school district progress through yearly validation and by conducting an external review of each school. The Dysart School District is the only Arizona school district to receive the Model District Award.
Dr. Don Enz, Arizona State Director of accreditation, in a letter to Dysart Superintendent Dr. Gail Pletnick, said, "Maintaining significant progress and at the same time dealing with exceptional growth is very difficult. Dysart has done this very well," Enz said. "With new staff and new classrooms, the Dysart School District has made exceptional progress in initiating school improvement in every school in the face of extraordinary growth."
Dr. Gail Pletnick will receive the award at a luncheon Monday in Tucson.
