recognizing excellence in continuing improvement Exemplary School designation is issued to individual schools in recognition of excellence in their efforts to evaluate strategically their purpose, operations, and educational programs. The design of the evaluation for Exemplary School designation is based on the short version of the Guide to Assessing Your School, a document jointly created by the Arts Schools Network and the Accrediting Commission for Community and Pre‐collegiate Arts Schools (ACCPAS) as a way to assist arts school personnel with important responsibilities for planning, evaluating, and implementing effective organizational development. The Guide is an assessment tool that uses questions based on ACCPAS accreditation standards. When a school is designated as an Exemplary School, it is not only recognized for improvement efforts, but it also gains positive exposure that helps in fundraising, advocacy, and networking. The selection process builds on the ASN partnership with ACCPAS. Other features of designation include: • Article in the ASN e-news
