LANSING - The State Board of Education has announced that Michigan Blue Ribbons are being awarded to 32 elementary schools this year, recognizing outstanding improvement strategies throughout the state.

"The Blue Ribbon program's selection committee chose these schools as meeting some very tough criteria in delivering quality education to their students," said Sate Board of Education President Kathleen N. Straus. "All these schools, their teachers, students, parents, and communities should be very proud of their accomplishment."

Established in 1982, the Michigan Blue Ribbon Exemplary School Program recognizes schools that demonstrate a strong commitment to educational excellence and significant academic improvement over five years. Schools must complete a comprehensive report of key criteria of school effectiveness that serves as a basis for an extensive assessment of their building and programs."
