Libertyville School District 70 has been honored for the second consecutive time with the Best Communities for Music Education designation from The NAMM Foundation for its outstanding commitment to music education.
Now in its 25th year, the Best Communities for Music Education designation is awarded to districts that demonstrate outstanding achievement in efforts to provide music access and education to all students.
Our outstanding music teachers in D70 include Julie Perez, Jonathan Weppler, Sara Griffin, Jennifer Vente, Erika Brown Thomas, Carol Jannosy, Carla Bollinger, Rob Swartzloff, and Allison Zabelin.
To qualify for the Best Communities designation, District 70 answered detailed questions about funding, graduation requirements, music class participation, instruction time, facilities, support for the music program, and community music-making programs. Responses were verified by school officials and reviewed by The Music Research Institute at the University of Kansas.
