This award is to encourage District improvement by recognizing Districts that meet minimum standards of performance in three areas. Districts will voluntarily apply for recognition by completing a Model District Award application and submitting it to the USA Section Office four (4) weeks prior to the spring Board of Regents meeting of each year. The Membership Committee will review each application against pre-established standards and determine if the District meets minimum requirements in all areas. Districts that meet standards will be designated as Model Districts and recognized at the Annual Meeting and Convocation. The Model District designation will be good for a three-year period at the end of which time the District will need to re-apply. The standards are subject to change.
