American Education Week
American Education Week, November 13-19, 2016, is a time to celebrate public education and honor the individuals who are making a difference in ensuring that every child receives a quality education. This year’s theme is “Great Public Schools: A Basic Right and Our Responsibility.” Each year the board recognizes the observance by adopting a proclamation designating American Education Week in Transylvania County (see attached). In addition, all current and retired school system employees are invited to a free Thanksgiving lunch as guests of the board on a designated day in November. This year’s Thanksgiving lunch will be held on Thursday, November 17.
A motion is in order to approve the proclamation.
