Lynwood Unified School District’s School Safety Task Force Committee has been selected as one of just 52 recipients of California’s leading educational honor, the Golden Bell Award.
The Golden Bell Awards are presented by the California School Boards Association (CSBA) to promote excellence in public education and school board governance by recognizing outstanding programs and governance practices. According to CSBA, the awards reflect the depth and breadth of education programs and governance decisions supporting these programs that are necessary to address students’ changing needs.
The School Safety Task Force Committee received its award at a reception and ceremony on Dec. 1, at the Marriott Marquis San Diego Marina. The awards ceremony was part of CSBA’s Annual Education Conference and Trade Show held from Dec. 1-3 in San Diego.
The committee was presented with the award for effectively preventing or reducing violence on campuses and promoting a safe and positive school climate, as well as teaching students to resolve conflicts.
“We are honored to have been recognized for this significant achievement,” Superintendent Dr. Gudiel Crosthwaite said. “The well-being of our students is our top priority, whether it be physical, mental, or emotional. By continuing to meet these needs, we increase their likelihood of success. I’m extremely proud of our School Safety Task Force Committee for doing an incredible job at protecting our students so they can learn in a positive and safe environment.”
To select this year’s winner, a judging panel composed of experts from school districts and county offices of education across the state reviewed entries and made recommendations, with on-site validators assessing programs in action. According to CSBA, this year’s winners successfully addressed student needs in areas of equity and access, school climate and safety, technology, and wellness.
“Lynwood takes pride in providing the safest schools to learn in and work at,” Assistant Superintendent of Business Services Gregory Fromm said. “Our work is not done, it is only the beginning.”
