Nominations open for One91 Community of Excellence Awards

Nominations for the 2026 One91 Community of Excellence Awards to honor employees in Burnsville-Eagan-Savage School District 191 opened on Monday, Jan. 12.

The purpose of the awards is to recognize the extraordinary contributions of One91 staff members who are working to ensure each student is Future Ready and Community Strong.

“In just my brief time as part of the One91 community, I’ve been overwhelmed by the talent, knowledge, skill and dedication of my colleagues,” said Superintendent Dr. Latanya Daniels. “I see the impact of their work every day, and I encourage everyone to nominate and honor someone who has made a difference in their life.”

Nomination categories include Collaboration and Partnership, Innovation, Community Engagement, Excellence in Educational Support, Teaching Excellence and Leadership in Action.

In addition, a Spirit of Excellence award will go to an individual or team that exemplifies the best of what the district seeks in its employees.

Students, parents, community members and staff members are invited to submit nominations. Nominations are due by Sunday, Feb. 8, and can be submitted online at www.isd191.org/COEAwards. 

Selections will be announced in March and recipients will be honored at an awards ceremony in April at the Burnsville High School Mraz Center.
