GaDOE Recognizes Kingston Elementary in Exemplary & Exceptional Library Media Programs

Media release: State School Superintendent, Dr. John Barge is pleased to announce the 2011 Exemplary and Exceptional Library Media Programs for the state of Georgia.

The Georgia Department of Education (GaDOE) Division of Academic Standards solicited applications from schools.  Library Media Programs in three schools (elementary, middle and high) were selected for this recognition.  Library Media Specialists and GaDOE staff selected the recipients based on the school's written application, the principal's narrative, a possible telephone interview and/or an on-site visit.  This program is an opportunity to describe how the Library Media Program is meeting school improvement goals and improving student achievement.
