The Miami-Dade County School Board has won the American School Board Journal's prestigious Magna Award for its Comprehensive Reading Program and JUST READ marketing campaign. The award is given annually to a handful of school boards across the country that take bold, innovative and positive steps to improve school district governance and student achievement.

Miami-Dade's Comprehensive Reading Plan will be cited in a special supplement to the journal's April 2001 issue and featured on the web at www.asbj.com/magna. All Magna Award winners will be honored in San Diego at a March 24-27 conference of the National School Boards Association, the journal's publisher.
