Baldy View Elementary School has been recognized by the State of California as a Title 1 Academic Achievement Award winner!  The school's principal, Lorrie Buehler, received notice of this award by a phone call from Jack O'Connell, State Superintendent of Public Instruction.  Baldy View is among 238 statewide to earn the 2009-10 Title I Academic Achievement Award out of more than 6,000 of California’s 9,000 schools that participate in the Title 1 program.

 The No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB) requires all states receiving Title I funds to establish a program that recognizes Title I schools that exceed Adequate Yearly Progress for two or more years or significantly close the achievement gap among numerically significant subgroups.  In addition to these federal law requirements, California's program has been designed to identify and honor Title I schools that have also doubled their Academic Performance Index (API) growth target for two consecutive years, and that meet a designated median API score in both English-language arts and mathematics.

 "These award recipients prove that with hard work and high expectations, students can overcome challenges and achieve academic success," said O'Connell.  "By working together, administrators, teachers, staff, students, and parents have raised student achievement and narrowed the achievement gap.  I congratulate these schools and everyone who worked hard to make them deserving of this significant award."

 Upland Unified District's own Superintendent, Gary Rutherford, Ed.D. celebrated with a "5 Second Dance" in all 26 classrooms.
