It is my honor to announce the 2020 District of Distinction awardees. The following districts have successfully submitted all required materials with fidelity. Over 1,000 districts state-wide were eligible to apply for the Texas Art Education Association Visual Arts Award. Only 43 districts met the high standard and will receive the outstanding honor indicating they are in the top 4 percent of districts in the state. The TAEA Administration and Supervision Division as sponsor, recognizes districts with outstanding leadership in promoting the arts in their district and community. We want districts that are actively participating members in TAEA and beyond TAEA sponsored events. This year's recipients exemplify a visual arts district of distinction. Congratulations and I commend you on your work advocating and promoting the visual arts in your district and community as well as providing continued creative learning and instruction during a year of many unforeseen challenges.
