GOVERNOR  WARNER RECEIVES TOP NATIONAL AWARD
FROM COUNCIL OF CHIEF STATE SCHOOL  OFFICERS
~ CCSSO cites Governor's education reforms, national leadership  ~

RICHMOND - Governor Mark R. Warner today was awarded the 2005 Distinguished
Service Award from the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO), the
top national honor given each year to an individual who has contributed to the
advancement of education. The award was presented at CCSSO's Annual Policy
Forum and Business Meeting taking place in Richmond.

The CCSSO cited Governor Warner's strong commitment to improving education
for students at all levels. The organization noted several Warner
administration initiatives, including Education for a Lifetime and the successful
Partnership for Achieving Successful Schools (PASS) program, which partners the most
successful programs and personnel in Virginia schools with the state's most
academically challenged schools. The CCSSO also praised Governor Warner for
his ability to garner bipartisan support for education, including his recently
concluded term as chairman to the National Governors Association, where he
led a national discussion about redesigning the American high school.

"Given the national focus on high school reform, it is extremely fitting
that we honor Governor Warner, who brought the issue of high schools to
governors and policymakers," said Dr. G. Thomas Houlihan, executive director of
CCSSO. "His commitment to not only high schools-but all levels of education-has
been exciting to follow, and we are honored to recognize his service through
the presentation of the Council's highest award."

"By every measurement, Virginia students are meeting higher academic
standards and our schools are demonstrating that innovation and accountability can
go hand-in-hand," Governor Warner said. "I am honored that CCSSO has
recognized all that we have accomplished during the past four years. I accept this
award on behalf of the thousands of parents, teachers, and administrators who
are doing the important work of preparing our young people so they will be more
competitive in a global economy."

For 46 years, the Council has presented its Distinguished Service Award to
outstanding Americans. Previous recipients include President Bill Clinton;
Bill and Melinda Gates; U.S. Senator Edward M. Kennedy of Massachusetts; Hugh B.
Price, president and chief executive officer of the National Urban League;
former North Carolina Governor James B. Hunt; and former U.S. Secretary of
Education Richard W. Riley.

The Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) is a nonpartisan,
nationwide, nonprofit organization of public officials who head departments of
elementary and secondary education in the states, the District of Columbia, and
U.S. territories.
