School wins award IRON MOUNTAIN, MI (wnmu) - The Iron Mountain School District has received an award for its structured language program for parents. The Michigan's Best Award from the Michigan Association of School Boards recognized the district as having an exemplary model of quality education.

Superintendent Denny Chartier says the program trains parents of Title I students to reinforce language skills throughout the summer months, when their kids aren't in school. He says the award is a singular accomplishment, in that the Iron Mountain district is the only one in the U.P. to receive the award.

Title I teachers in the district applied for the award, and won regional and state honors. A total of nine Michigan school districts were given the award.
