We have done a similar successful award nomination, and were pleased to see a particular teacher acknowledged. In response the local public school system created its own internal nomination process and award of the same name, obfuscating and diluting the perceived value of the external award.
It’s wonderful that you did this.
I think a local award is a nice idea but they should have used another name - this thread does seem to be revealing that there’re a lot of hidden motives and hijacked award systems.
