Whereas, Clarence W. Dickert, District Superintendent of Edgefield County Schools, has been nominated for the "South Carolina Rural Educator of the Year" award and has been appointed to the State Board of Education; and

Whereas, he has been District Superintendent of Edgefield County schools since 1987; and

Whereas, he has numerous professional affiliations and is active in many civic and community clubs and organizations; he reorganized the district office in Edgefield County two years ago because he saw a more efficient way to serve the needs of the schools; with this movement there came a more effective and efficient Parenting Program, Adult Education Program, and a revitalization of the Homework Centers; he also spearheaded the restructuring of the school day to give more time on task to older students, and he led the effort to reorganize the bus routes to accommodate the Child Development through fifth grade students; and

Whereas, Clarence Dickert is an outstanding individual who is greatly deserving of the honors which have been bestowed upon him; and it gives us great pleasure to have the opportunity to recognize him in this special manner. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:
