CHAGRIN SCHOOL HONORED FOR 2
Gurney Elementary School has been selected as an honoree for the 2006-2007 State Superintendent’s Schools of Distinction recognition program for the second consecutive year.
This program was introduced during the 2005-2006 academic year as a new component of the Schools of Promise initiative. The Schools of Distinction program is designed to recognize schools in which a high percentage of all students, includingstudents with disabilities, show outstanding performance.

At each School of Distinction, at least 75 percent of all students, including students with disabilities, scored proficient or above on the 2006-2007 Ohio Achievement Tests or the Ohio Graduation Tests in reading and mathematics.
The Ohio Department of Education recognized Chagrin Falls School representatives on the first day of the Office for Exceptional Children’s statewide Special Education Leadership Conference, held in Columbus last week.
