School Administrator Award
Awards and presentations are made annually to outstanding school principals and/or superintendents who demonstrate support for and com- mitment to high-quality arts education programs in their schools. The in- fluence of such administrators is a major factor in improving music educa- tion in school systems across the state. One elementary school principal, one secondary school principal and one school district superintendent may be selected to receive this award. Individuals holding titles as assistant principal and assistant or associate superintendent also qualify. Administrators receiv- ing awards will be notified by NJMEA and a presentation honoring them will take place at the Membership Luncheon at the February NJMEA State Conference.
Selection by the NJMEA committee will be based on the following criteria:
A. The school or school district under the administrator’s supervi- sion must have an exemplary music program, with a majority of the music staff holding NJMEA membership. B. The administrator must have served in the administrative po- sition in the same school or district for no less than three years.
