District 15 Earns
2003 Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award

President George W. Bush and Commerce Secretary Donald L. Evans announced the seven organizations as recipients of the 2003 Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award, the nation’s highest honor for quality and performance excellence. Community Consolidated School District 15 is the lone recipient in the education category.

“They represent America’s best and are setting a high standard for corporate and social responsibility. Their dynamic, principled leadership has built our economy into the world’s largest engine of progress and prosperity,” said Secretary Evans.

District 15 was evaluated rigorously by an independent board of examiners in seven areas: leadership, strategic planning, customer and market focus, information and analysis, human resource focus, process management, and results. The evaluation process included hours of review and an on-site visit by a team of examiners to clarify questions and verify information in the applications.
