Sayville High School’s "Breakfast of Champions" program has been selected for inclusion in the 2011 Magna Best Practices Database by the National School Boards Association and was one of only 114 highly-scored programs selected for this special recognition from the 359 nominations submitted this past year.
Over the past 17 years, the American School Board Journal’s Magna Awards, sponsored by Sodexo School Services, has featured “many excellent examples of school district leadership, and this year is no exception,” so states the Magna Awards - American School Board Journal website. “High school retention and dropout prevention are clear trends this year. We are pleased to have the opportunity to showcase these award-winning projects as examples of innovation and excellence in school governance.”
With the establishment of the fully searchable Magna Best Practices Database, the awarded schools are showcased for reference as model programs that other schools can imitate and incorporate in their own school districts. In this way, the Magna Best Practices Database provides the education world with a valuable resource for innovative best practices, proven and practical solutions for big and small district problems, and new ideas.
