Richard Riley Award to Honor Schools That Serve as Centers of Community
Deadline: July 9, 2007

The KnowledgeWorks Foundation (<a href="http://www.kwfdn.org/">http://www.kwfdn.org/</a>), in partnership with the American Architectural Foundation (<a href="http://www.archfoundation.org/">http://www.archfoundation.org/</a>), seeks submissions for the Richard Riley Award. The award recognizes design and educational excellence in "schools as centers of community." The winning school will receive a $10,000 prize.

Schools that serve as centers of community provide a rich array of social, civic, recreational, and artistic opportunities to the broader community and to students, often clustering educational and municipal buildings together. These additional services and opportunities often improve student achievement and help maximize local tax dollars.

All public schools, new and old, including charter schools, are eligible to submit entries for the award. Individuals are not eligible to receive the award.
