The Cape Girardeau Board of Education will hold a news conference at 3:30 p.m. today to announce a "significant educational annual award" to be presented at the school board office, 61 N. Clark St.
District Superintendent Dr. Dan Steska would not give details about the award Monday afternoon, saying he wanted principals to discuss the award with their staff members before releasing information.
Steska said the award, worth $100,000, will come from local contributors to recognize excellence in teaching and will be presented annually.
