Recognition School 2015
These are chosen for exceptional performance and/or closing the achievement gap. Both Title I and non-Title I schools can qualify. Stokes Elementary School is honored with $50,000. This year, because of the state’s federal Race to the Top funding and the U.S. Department of Education’s approval of a new state school accountability system for Delaware, the Delaware Department of Education was able to expand the number of schools recognized from five to 19, in four categories. A majority of the program is aligned with the former Academic Achievement Award program. The continuation of that program as provided by the RTTT grant funding. The RTTT grant provides funding for this through 2015.
