SchoolE Update (Week of 1/1 - 1/7)

It's been an exciting week for SchoolE votes! There are now two new leaders for both the Medium and Small categories, new states, and a record number of votes!

In the Medium category (districts with 7,000-25,000 students enrolled), a landslide of votes from Independence 30 in Independence, MO, has secured them the lead. In the Small category (districts of up to 7,000 students enrolled), not only did newcomer Danville Independent from Danville, KY, break into the top 3, this district also manged to overcome University Academy or Kansas City, MO, for the #1 spot.

These two districts accounted for 75% of the votes this week, but many other schools are starting to rack up the votes also. The competition is really taking off! It will be interesting to see what next week brings.

Five new states have joined the SchoolE nominations with districts from Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Arkansas, Oklahoma and Kentucky. Bringing the SchoolE nominations much closer to the goal of receiving a nomination from every state!

What a great way to start off the new year, keep the votes coming in!
