CHICO — The California Charter Schools Association awarded CORE Butte Charter School with the Hart Vision Equity and Innovation Awards at the 2024 California Charter Schools Conference.
“These awards, named after the late Sen. Gary K. Hart, the author of the original charter school bill in the state of California in 1992, are given to schools and education leaders with a demonstrated record of outstanding achievements in serving all students and furthering California’s charter public school movement,” stated the press release from CORE Butte Charter Superintendent Mary Cox.
CORE Butte is a transitional kindergarten through grade 12 school with over 930 students.
“It is well-deserved: CORE truly lives out the spirit of charter schools in California, as we see each child as an individual and work together to personalize education for each one of them,” said CORE Butte High School English teacher Samantha Gobba.
CORE Butte celebrated the award Thursday night at its meeting with a pizza dinner.
“Having dedicated 19 years of my career to CORE, the sense of family here runs deep within me,” Cox said.
Magnolia Public Schools in Los Angeles was also selected for this award.
