2 EDCAL May 1, 2017 GOLD Butte County: Continued from page 1 applied this year. Schools applied for the award based on a model program or practice their school has adopted that includes standards-based activities, projects, strategies, and practices that can be replicated by other local edu- cational agencies. The award acknowledged elementary schools last year. The Gold Ribbon Awards recognize California schools that have made gains in implementing the academic content and performance standards adopted by the State Board of Education. These include the California Standards for English Language Arts and Mathematics, California English Language Development Standards, and Next Generation Science Standards. Additionally, Gold Ribbon awardees that are also Title 1 schools were recognized as Academic Achieving Schools and are iden- tified as such on the list. This additional rec- ognition is given only to schools receiving federal Title 1 funds that assist in meeting the educational needs of students living at or below the poverty line. The 2017 Gold Ribbon Schools, as well as the 2017 Exemplary Program recipi- ents, Title 1 Academic Achieving Award Schools, 2017 Green Ribbon Schools, 2017 Civic Learning Award Schools, and the National Blue Ribbon Schools from 2016, will be honored in May during regional cer- emonies held in Costa Mesa, Santa Clara, Los Angeles, Visalia, and Sacramento. Please visit the California Gold Ribbon Schools Program on the CDE’s website for more information. The CDE California School Recognition Program is presented by San Mateo-based California Casualty.
