The district has been ranked among the NAMM Foundation’s “Best Communities for Music Education” in America. The national program highlighted 376 selected school districts with outstanding commitment to music education.
The Best Communities designation recognizes the collaborative efforts of teachers, administrators, students and parents who continually work to keep comprehensive music education as an integral part of the core curriculum. More than 2,000 schools and school districts participated in the survey, resulting in a 21 percent increase in designations.
Each school and district is evaluated based on funding, staffing of qualified teachers, commitment to standards and access to music instruction. Designations are made to schools and districts which demonstrate an exceptionally high commitment and greater access to music education.
