Bud Jackson Teamwork Award
The award's name honors FSPS Partners In Education program founder Bud Jackson. Jackson, former chief executive officer at Weldon Williams and Lick, approached then Superintendent C.B. Garrison with the Adopt a School Program. In 1982 with the support of Garrison, Jackson establised a partnership between Howard Elementary School and Weldon Williams and Lick. Many other schools have followed in the more than 25 years since the first school/business relationship began. The Bud Jackson Teamwork Award established in 2003 recognizes outstanding team effort of partnerships.
