The Florida Taxwatch group recognized Apalachicola Bay
charter School principal Chimene Johnson on Monday as one of Florida’s top
performing principals.
Mrs.
Johnson is one of 6 principals who received the Florida Taxwatch Principal
Leadership Award this year – and one of only two elementary School principals.
She
has served as principal of the ABC school since 2010.
During
that time the ABC school has consistently been given an A or B grade by the
state of Florida.
The
Principal Leadership Award is based on student achievement gains in reading and
mathematics in schools that have a high percentage of students with
disabilities, students designated as English as Second Language Learners and
students eligible for free and reduced lunch.
The
award is the only honor given to principals who exceed expected learning gains
for at-risk students in low-income, high-risk schools.
Florida
Taxwatch doesn’t take nominations for the award – it is an entirely a data
driven program.
The
taxwatch group held an award ceremony at the Apalachicola Bay charter school on
Monday.
It
was attended by students, teachers, school board members and school
superintendent Nina Marks.
Mrs.
Johnson will also be recognized later this week by the State Board of
Education.
