The state gold award winners were honored at the Texas Association of Partners in Education (TAPE) Awards Banquet on Jan. 26 in Austin.
The VIPS General Meeting also provided a platform to honor the VIPS TAG (Targeting Achievement Globally) Team, a group of global volunteers who go onto campuses designated by the school district to work alongside district helping teachers by tutoring students in science.
Now in its second year, the TAG Team features volunteers who work with students once or twice a week from September - April, making it possible for students to benefit from individualized or small-group attention that would be impossible for them to otherwise receive.
