A house RESOLUTION

TO CONGRATULATE THE SOUTH CAROLINA SCHOOL BOARDS 
ASSOCIATION ON ITS SEVENTY-FIFTH ANNIVERSARY AND TO RECOGNIZE THE ASSOCIATION 
FOR THE SUPPORT IT PROVIDES TO SCHOOL BOARDS AND PUBLIC EDUCATION ACROSS THE STATE.

Whereas, the South 
Carolina School Boards Association is the oldest and only organization 
representing all of the school boards in the seventy-two school districts in 
the State of South Carolina, embodying the interests of nearly 600 school board 
members and collectively more than 700,000 public education students; and

Whereas, the South 
Carolina School Boards Association was founded in 1950 in Columbia, by a 
pioneering group of school board members and business leaders who sought to establish 
a broad continuity in public education that was lacking in South Carolina; and

Whereas, as the leading 
voice in South Carolina, representing one hundred percent of the school boards 
and members across the State, the South Carolina School Boards Association has 
successfully championed state legislative solutions that support school 
districts and has worked closely with state leadership and the South Carolina 
General Assembly, informing members of the realities of local implementation of 
proposed state legislation; and

Whereas, as the leading 
advocate for quality public education and the equipping of school boards 
through training and services, the South Carolina School Boards Association 
supports the four major roles envisioned for all of the nation's school boards, 
which are vision, basic structure, accountability, and advocacy; and

Whereas, the South 
Carolina School Boards Association and local school boards recognize the 
critical role that parents and the community have in supporting a strong public 
education system; and

Whereas, the South 
Carolina School Boards Association's Annual Day brings hundreds of board 
members from across the State together at the State House to ensure the 
opportunity for the voice of each member to be heard in state decision-making; 
and

Whereas, the South 
Carolina School Boards Association works in partnership with twenty-four other 
state school boards associations across the country to support, promote, and 
strengthen school board members and school districts; and

Whereas, the South 
Carolina School Boards Association will play a role in the years to come in 
supporting school boards with unparalleled training, policy expertise, and 
relentless advocacy as a key partner in preserving and strengthening the 
state-local partnership that supports a successful and sound public education 
system. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House 
of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, congratulate 
the South Carolina School Boards Association on its seventy-fifth anniversary 
and recognize the association for the support it provides to school boards and 
public education across the State.

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