The Indiana Department of Education awarded up to $4.21 million to schools across the state to celebrate their progress and achievement in supporting student excellence and growth.
An Educational Excellence Awards gala was held Friday night in Indianapolis where nearly 400 educators and guests around the state attended the event to be recognized.
Tri-Township Consolidated School Corporation received $160,000 for the Excellence in Literacy Award. This award focuses on ensuring all students demonstrate proficiency in foundational reading skills. Tri-Township achieved 100 percent district-wide passing rate on the 2022 IREAD-3 assessment. Superintendent Kelly Shepherd said Tri-Township was the only corporation to achieve this.
School awards are funded through the state’s federal Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER) grant.
