Two WG schools top distinguished list
San Jose Vice Mayor Frank Fiscalini presented awards to the principals and student body governments from Booksin Elementary and River Glen two-way bilingual immersion magnet schools at the May 30 San Jose City Council meeting.
The schools are two of seven in San Jose Unified School District that made California's Most Distinguished Schools list.
The California Department of Education released the names of 233 elementary schools across the state on April 10, after a long application process and school site visits from judges.
Fiscalini said he was proud of the students, teachers, principals, community and parents involved in the two schools.
