American Education Week

November 4, 2005

School trustees at their November 1 meeting adopted the following resolution supporting American Education Week, November 13-19.

School Board Resolution

Whereas, public schools are the backbone of our democracy, providing young people with the tools they need to maintain our nation’s precious values of freedom, civility and equality; and

Whereas, by equipping young Americans with both practical skills and broader intellectual abilities, schools give them hope for, and access to, a productive future; and

Whereas, education employees, be they substitute educators, custodians, teachers, bus drivers, or librarians, work tirelessly to serve our children and communities with care and professionalism; and

Whereas, schools are community linchpins, bringing together adults and children, educators and volunteers, business leaders, and elected officials in a common enterprise; and

Whereas, the theme, “A Strong America Starts with Great Public Schools,” emphasizes the team efforts between the home and schools.

Therefore, be it resolved that the Board of Trustees of the Plano Independent School District, does hereby proclaim November 13-19, 2005, as American Education Week, and encourages Plano schools to join with other schools across the country in participating in this 84th annual observance.
