Claude Archer, a teacher at Marjory Stoneman Douglas Elementary
School, was named one of Florida's 2000 Milken Educator Awardees at a
presentation held at the school last week. The award, presented by
Florida Education Commissioner Tom Gallagher and sponsored by the
Milken Family Foundation, celebrates and rewards educators who make
great strides in improving our educational system.
Archer will receive a $25,000 unrestricted financial award and will
become part of the Milken Educator Network, comprised of more than
1,650 of the nation's most outstanding educators. This network will
provide him with a variety of professional resources to help
cultivate and expand innovative programs in his clasroom, school and
district.
Archer also will receive an all-expense-paid trip to Los Angeles to
participate in the Milken National Education Conference in June 2001.
