Rep. Crawford and Sen. Lundberg Honor Avoca
Representative John
Crawford and Senator Jon Lundberg were in Bristol to deliver a
proclamation on behalf of the state legislature to Avoca Elementary
School for being named by the Tennessee Department of Education as a
2018 Reward School. The proclamation was delivered on Saturday,
September 29th at Avoca at the beginning of the school’s fall festival.
Reward
School status was determined differently than it has been in previous
years. It includes a variety of measures, including chronic absenteeism, discipline, ACT performance, and TNReady scores. This is the first
year Tennessee implemented its new school accountability model. Avoca was also designated as a reward school last year and in 2012.
