Whereas, her honesty, intelligence, friendliness, and commitment to excellence in education have drawn admiration from those with whom she has worked, as well as from the citizens of Richland County at large; and
Whereas, in preparation for a thirty-four-year career in education, in 1979 Dr. Caution-Parker earned her bachelor's degree in elementary education at the University of South Carolina, followed by a master's degree in elementary education from the same institution and a doctorate in education leadership from NOVA Southeastern University in Fort Lauderdale, Florida; and
Whereas, she began her career in education as a classroom teacher at Richland School District Two's E.L.

Whereas, in recognition of her outstanding work, Dr. Caution-Parker has received various recognitions, among them the 2011 William B. Harley Lifetime Achievement Award for leadership and service; and

Whereas, Dr. Caution-Parker believes strongly in personal involvement with her community, and her convictions have led her to work with several organizations, including Chums, Inc., Forest Acres Rotary (past secretary), Poinsettia Cotillion (treasurer), Ridgewood Ladies Golf Club, South Carolina Women in Philanthropy, St. Luke's Episcopal Church, the Nurturing Center (past board member), and My Museum (past board member); and
Whereas, Dr. Caution-Parker, taking her responsibilities with the seriousness they deserve, has labored diligently as deputy superintendent of Richland School District Two for the educational welfare of the young people committed to her care, and the South Carolina General Assembly wishes her well as she begins her well-deserved retirement.
