County Golden Bell Recipients To Be Honored

2010-01-29

SAN BERNARDINO - The San Bernardino County School Boards Association will honor four programs recognized for receiving 2009 Golden Bell Awards, which honor outstanding educational programs around the state.

The association will recognize the programs at its meeting on Feb. 1 at the University of Redlands.

The four programs that will be honored are:

• California School Age Families Education for the San Bernardino City Unified School District. The program is designed to improve pregnant and parenting students' educational experience with increased availability for support services that help their academic achievement.
• Operation More Opportunities Now Exist For You for the Colton-Redlands-Yucaipa Regional Occupational Program. This federally funded program authorized through the Workforce Investment Act serves low-income, at-risk youth.
• Paul Swick Family Center at Yucca Loma School in the Apple Valley Unified School District. The center provides services, resources and programs that promote family success, strengthen family support systems and support their community.
• San Manuel Partnership for the San Bernardino City Unified School District. The partnership has allowed students in the district to benefit from enriched educational opportunities, supporting the mission and goals of both groups.

Each of the Golden Bell recipients was honored by the California School Boards Association at its awards ceremony in December. For more information on the Golden Bell program, visit the state school boards' Web site at www.csba.org.
