A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

TO PROCLAIM THE WEEK OF NOVEMBER 12-18, 1995, AMERICAN EDUCATION WEEK, AND WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 1995, AS EDUCATIONAL SUPPORT DAY.

Whereas, throughout American history, public schools have helped democratize our nation, strengthen our communities, and widen our opportunities; and

Whereas, by integrating different groups into a common educational setting, public schools prepare this state's and nation's diverse population to live harmoniously in a free, democratic society; and

Whereas, the future of America in the next century depends on the students who are in our schools today; and

Whereas, all citizens have an important mutual interest in educating future citizens; and

Whereas, strong, effective public schools are a springboard to a better tomorrow; and

Whereas, American Education Week was established in 1921 to recognize the importance of public education; and

Whereas, the theme for 1995, "Good Schools are a Great Investment", is particularly critical for South Carolina; and

Whereas, teachers play a critical role in the delivery and improvement of public education; and

Whereas, education support personnel, including secretaries and clerical assistants, lunchroom workers, bus drivers, teacher aides and assistants, custodians and maintenance workers, also make important contributions to public education in South Carolina. Now, therefore,

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

That the members of the General Assembly proclaim the week of November 12-18, 1995, American Education Week, and Wednesday, November 15, 1995, as Educational Support Day.
