Background: Each month, the Milwaukee Board of School Directors recognizes an outstanding school, student, staff member, parent, or community member for a display of excellence, achievement, and innovation that may serve as an example to our school district and the entire Milwaukee community.

This month, the Milwaukee Board of School Directors is pleased to present the “Excellence in Education Award” to:

Lurlean Hodges-Hinton
Lakeside Bus Company

Ms. Lurlean Hodges-Hinton is a driver for Lakeside Bus Company, transporting students safely to Browning Elementary School via route 1372 on a daily basis! Ms. Hodges-Hinton demonstrated a special kindness toward the students at Browning by going the extra mile for those who ride her bus in several ways that have resulted in improved and measurable outcomes for students.

Ms. Hodges-Hinton uses her own money and resources to keep her bus stocked with interesting books covering a wide variety of reading levels. She encourages students to read while they are on the bus. This act of unconditional love, concern, and care has resulted in Ms. Hodges-Hinton having the lowest number of bus incidents for routes to Browning. Her actions and initiative show genuine care and concern for students and strong support of the district's efforts around building a culture of reading.

The Milwaukee Board of School Directors recognize and honor Lurlean Hodges-Hinton, for her dedication, outstanding leadership, and commitment to excellence on behalf of the students of the Milwaukee Public Schools.
