PLATTEVILLE - On Sept. 16, U.S. secretary of education Arne Duncan, joined by philanthropist Eli Broad and members of the U.S. Congress, named Aldine Independent School District in Houston the 2009 winner of the Broad Prize. The $2 million Broad Prize for Urban Education is the largest education award in the nation.
Over 1,000 miles north of Houston, the University of Wisconsin-Platteville celebrated with the Aldine district. UWP Interim Chancellor Carol Sue Butts noted, "UW-Platteville and the Aldine district have a strong partnership that started five years ago. I have had the opportunity to visit this district and to witness its focus on student success for all. Working with and in this district is beneficial for our faculty, staff and students."
