The Bold Steps for Children Award

Our 2009 Honoree - Applied Materials

In 2002, Applied Materials took the bold step of shifting form a traditional education grantmaking approach to one of focused, strategic investment over a sustained period of time. Engaging partners and making investments at critical leverage points along the education pathway has led to measureable results in school readiness, the percentage of students performing on grade level and the percentage graduating and ready for college.

Keynote Speaker: Anthony J. Trujillo

Anthony J. Trujillo has spent 50 years in education as a teacher and administrator, twenty-two years as a superintendent. As superintendent at the Tamalpais High School District, state test scores rose from the 90th to the 98th percentile. While at the Sweetwater Union High School District near San Diego, test scores went up for five years in a row. He came out of retirement to be superintendent of the Ysleta Independent School District in El Paso, Texas. While there, he took Ysleta from the lowest performing to the highest performing urban district in Texas. Mr. Trujillo has drawn national attention for his successful work with high school dropouts and has recently published a book “Saving the Dropouts”. He has received several awards and recognitions including the Personal Achievement Award by the Children’s Defense Fund and the Champions of Equity Award by the Equity Center of Texas.
