One hundred forty-two MCPS elementary and middle schools have earned financial awards for improvement through the revised Maryland School Performance Recognition Program. The individual schools garnered a total of $420,673.89.

The awards recognize schools throughout the state that are making substantial progress toward achieving state standards for school performance, based on the 2000-01 Maryland School Performance Report.

The Maryland State Board of Education recently approved revisions to the criteria to be used this year for distributing the financial awards. The revisions begin a transition period during which the Maryland State Department of Education will work to incorporate the Maryland School Assessment and the High School Assessments, and will place a stronger focus on disaggregated data, as required by the federal No Child Left Behind Act. Criteria now include improvement in the performance of minority groups, students receiving free and reduced-price meals, and other demographic categories.

NOTE: These awards are based on the 2001 Maryland School Performance Report, not the 2002 data released by the Maryland State Department of Education on December 5, 2002.
