Summary of School Business Partnerships

« Table of contents

The STAR Award was initiated in 1996 to recognize an outstanding partnership in the Anchorage School District. At that time we had 190 partnerships and gave one award. Today we have hundreds of partnerships, and have increased the STAR Awards accordingly. Business STAR Award partnerships are nominated by ASD principals, SBP coordinators or teachers. Educator STAR nominations are submitted by ASD principals, and business partners. Student STAR winners are nominated by teachers. The Superintendent STAR award recipient is chosen by the Anchorage Superintendent of Schools; the Executive STAR Award winner by the SBP Executive Director and the Shining STAR award recipient by the SBP Board of Directors. All STAR award winners must meet the following criteria:

Enthusiastic support of School Business Partnerships and the school or schools with whom the nominee is partnered

Commitment to educational enhancement of our youth

Excellence of activities or project

Dedication to the continuation and success of the program

Participation on a regular, dependable, scheduled basis

Willingness to be flexible and innovative in supporting and assuring success
