A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

TO DESIGNATE JANUARY 2008 AS SOUTH CAROLINA SCHOOL BOARD MEMBER RECOGNITION MONTH TO HONOR SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS FOR THEIR EXCEPTIONAL COMMITMENT TO IMPROVING PUBLIC EDUCATION FOR ALL SOUTH CAROLINA SCHOOLCHILDREN.

Whereas, the education of South Carolina's school-aged children is the foundation upon which the economic, social, and intellectual capital of our state is built; and

Whereas, locally elected and appointed school boards play an important and vital role in a representative democracy, and decisions made by local boards of education directly influence instruction in South Carolina's public schools; and

Whereas, these decisions affect the present and future lives of children, and also set direction to prepare all students to be competitive in a local, state, national and global knowledge economy; and

Whereas, local school board members work with parents, businesses, education professionals, and other community members to create the educational vision we want for our students; and

Whereas, this year's theme "School Boards: Leading Voices For South Carolina Public Schools" reflects the efforts of local school board members to advocate for public education with local, state, and federal leaders; and

Whereas, School Board Appreciation Month provides an opportunity to build stronger relationships between the thousands of South Carolinians who champion the mission of public education and school board members. Now, therefore,

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

That the members of the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina, by this resolution, designate January 2008 as South Carolina School Board Member Recognition Month to honor school board members for their exceptional commitment to improving public education for all South Carolina schoolchildren.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the South Carolina School Boards Association.
