Roosevelt Edison Charter School Receives Colorado Center of Education Award

Colorado Commissioner of Education Dwight Jones recently selected Roosevelt Edison Charter School in Colorado Springs, as this year’s recipient of the Center for Excellence Award. Commissioner Jones noted that beginning this year, the Centers of Excellence Awards will be distributed annually to those schools in the state that demonstrate the highest rates of student longitudinal academic growth and enroll a student population that is at least seventy-five percent at-risk.

In his letter informing the school of their selection, Jones said, “I commend Roosevelt Edison for being one of the first recipients of this prestigious honor, and award you $14156. These funds, pursuant to statute, may be spent or distributed for use within the school as the principal deems appropriate.”

Congratulations to Dr. Precious Broadnax, Roosevelt principal, her talented and dedicated staff, her excellent students, and the families who are so committed to Roosevelt and the education which their children receive. Dr. Broadnax is widely regarded as one of our truly outstanding principals, and is the model for urban school leadership that EdisonLearning espouses. This very well-deserved honor.
