BUCYRUS, OH (CRAWFORD COUNTY NOW)—Bucyrus was selected from a competitive national pool of applicants based on its educational leadership, demonstrated commitment to excellence, innovative vision for learning, key achievements, and collaborative spirit.
“Bucyrus is excited to join the League of Innovative Schools,” said superintendent Robert Britton. “This opportunity to collaborate and continue to drive innovation in education aligns with the district’s vision of True North, Navigating Students to Career Success. The meaningful partnerships provided by The League will empower the district to learn from other forward thinking school systems, thereby strengthening the opportunities we provide to students that connect learning to future education, careers and life beyond the classroom. ”
Britton will represent Bucyrus in the League. Leaders in the district will gain access to a range of learning opportunities and resources in partnership with Digital Promise researchers and fellow school systems to build a deeper understanding of the challenges facing the community and develop research-backed solutions that improve student outcomes.
“The best solutions in education right now aren’t coming from any one district working alone,” said Jillian Doggett, director of network supports at Digital Promise. “For 15 years, the League has proven that when leaders see innovative practices firsthand, learn alongside peers facing the same challenges, and co-design research-backed solutions with our team, everyone moves faster. A practice piloted in one classroom becomes a resource for teachers in dozens of districts, and a question one leader raises becomes an answer thousands of students benefit from—that’s what membership means for Bucyrus: its educators and students don’t just contribute to that progress; they get to draw on it.”
The League welcomes this newest cohort as it celebrates its 15th anniversary. Bucyrus and the other new League members collectively represent 175 districts across 37 states, and expands its cumulative impact to over 4.4 million students served over time.
