President George W. Bush presented the 2003 Malcolm Baldrige
National Quality Award, the nation’s top award for quality
and performance excellence, to Community Consolidated School District 15
and other award winners at a ceremony on March 9, 2004,
at the Crystal Gateway Marriott Hotel in Arlington, Va.
Commerce Secretary Donald Evans and other federal officials also
were on hand for the presentation. Louis A. Sands, president
of the District 15 Board of Education, and Dr. Robert A.
McKanna, superintendent, officially accepted the award. A group
of 50 district representatives, including members of the Board of
Education, principals, teachers, staff members, representatives
of the communities served by District 15, and one student from
each of the district's four junior high schools, were in the audience
during the ceremony. Funding for the trip came from a grant from
the Malcolm Baldrige organization.
