Senators Hollier, Wojno, McMorrow, Polehanki, McCann, Chang, Alexander and Brinks offered the following resolution:
A resolution to recognize January 2020 as School Board Recognition Month.
Whereas, Michigan is home to more than 600 boards of education that work hard to enrich the lives of Michigan’s students through education and who directly influence instruction in Michigan’s public schools; and
Whereas, Article VII, Section 2, of the Michigan Constitution of 1963 states that providing for the education of Michigan’s children is a fundamental duty of state government; and
Whereas, Our state’s public education system is designed to meet the educational needs of all children and to empower them to become competent, productive contributors to society in an ever-changing world; and
Whereas, Members of local school boards are dedicated to children, learning, and their communities, while devoting many hours of service to elementary and secondary public education as they continually strive for improvement, excellence, and progress in education; and
Whereas, Local school boards recognize that all children can be successful learners, especially when education is tailored to individual needs of the child; and
Whereas, Members of local school boards are exceptional people who have committed themselves to this duty by governing school districts and advancing student achievement in the schools and communities in which they serve; and
Whereas, During this month, we join the Michigan Association of School Boards, Michigan Department of Education, local school districts, and community organizations to recognize and raise awareness of the countless efforts and contributions of school boards and school board members throughout Michigan; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate, That we recognize January 2020 as School Board Recognition Month; and be it further
Resolved, That we urge all citizens to observe this momentous occasion.
