CHENANGO COUNTY – Five school districts in Chenango County had “High Performing/Gap Closing” schools based on criteria under the No Child Left Behind Act, the state Education Department announced last week.

Greene, the only county district with all its schools included on the list – intermediate, middle and high – was recognized for meeting all applicable state standards for English Language Arts and math during the 2006-07 school year, and making “Adequate Yearly Progress” in those subjects for two consecutive years.

“This recognition is a testimony to the hard work and dedication of the Greene Central School students, parents, Board of Education and all members of the educational staff,” a prepared statement from a release stated.
