South El Monte, CA - Valle Lindo School District was recognized as a 2022 Golden Bell Award Winner for fostering an environment where all students are welcomed, valued, affirmed and college and career ready. The district’s program application, All Aboard: Equity and Access in Action, highlighted the district’s dedication to implementing strong professional development to aide our teachers and support staff in meeting the academic, physical, and emotional needs of every student. Through comprehensive workshops including AVID, Capturing Kids’ Hearts, and Welcoming Schools, Valle Lindo School District has established an environment where students and staff embrace and celebrate differences while fostering a sense of community.
Valle Lindo School District Board President, Veronica Lauria, shared, “I am extremely proud of our amazing student ambassadors who participated in the Golden Bell validation process. They are a true representation of how well our students are doing in our school district and why we are receiving this Golden Bell. I could not be more proud to serve on this board in our district and see how our students thrive. Each award and accolade is a collaborative effort by our amazing staff, awesome students, family involvement and community support.”
The Golden Bell Awards, celebrating their 43rd year, are presented by the California School Boards Association to promote excellence in public education and school board governance by recognizing outstanding programs and governance practices. The awards reflect the depth and breadth of education programs and governance decisions supporting these programs that are necessary to address students’ changing needs.
A judging panel composed of experts from school districts and county offices of education across the state reviewed written entries and made initial recommendations. On-site validators then reviewed the recommendations and assessed the programs in action.
