The boundary case: Amanda Fox's award belongs to Granger's page

8 February 2022

The boundary: The same White House release of 8 February 2022 carries a third Penn-Harris-Madison name, and this ledger prints her at boundary strength only, because the granting record and the district record point at two different schools. The White House list seats Indiana's 2020 mathematics award at "Amanda Fox, Prairie Vista Elementary School, Granger, Indiana (Mathematics)" — Granger, the unincorporated community east of the city, not Mishawaka. The district's own announcement of February 2022 places Fox as a fourth-grade teacher at Elsie Rogers Elementary, a Mishawaka school, at the time the award reached her; the finalist work the award judged, in December 2020, was done at Prairie Vista. Both records are printed because both are the record. The honor is real, national, and presidential — and by the rule this ledger keeps everywhere, it belongs to the community the grantor's record names. When Granger's own history is built in this series, Amanda Fox's Presidential Award will stand there at full size. Here it stands in this one paragraph, at the line, so that neither city borrows what the record assigns to the other.
