Muncie Community Schools Receives NAACP Education Award
Muncie, IN On September 16th, the Education Award was presented to Muncie Community Schools in recognition of their ongoing commitment to providing diversity training to MCS staff and developing and supporting diverse programs to enhance the educational opportunities for students.
In addition to recognizing local leaders for their service, the banquet celebrated the achievements of America’s oldest and largest civil rights organization.

It also recognizes that Muncie Community Schools has a long history of demonstrating its commitment to diversity through the numerous hours of diversity training for staff and also through its partnerships with numerous organizations who are also committed to implementing diversity initiatives.”
Funds raised during the banquet will continue the support of the NAACP’s five initiatives: Economic Sustainability, Education, Health, Public Safety, and Criminal Justice, and Voting Rights and Political Representation.
