House Resolution No. 177.
A resolution to declare January 2012 as School Board Recognition Month in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, Article VIII, Section 2 of Michigan's Constitution of 1963 establishes that maintaining and supporting public education for Michigan's youth is a basic duty of state government; and
Whereas, Michigan's institutions of public education are the foundations on which we prosper economically, socially and intellectually; and
Whereas, The elected school board members are public servants who lead their school districts and communities and maintain excellence in education and instruction throughout the state; and
Whereas, School board members must be visionaries who are dedicated to our students and our state's future. They must be designers of structures that create achievement and stewards of the public's trust that utilize shared resources in such a way as to maximize each investment; and
Whereas, School board members are some of the strongest advocates for quality education and have established themselves as integral in the creation of public policy targeted at getting positive results; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare January 2012 as School Board Recognition Month in the state of Michigan. We urge all citizens to recognize and observe this occasion.
