A concurrent RESOLUTION

TO RECOGNIZE AND 
HONOR BRANTLEY LOMBR OF SANDHILLS PRIMARY SCHOOL IN SWANSEA AND TO CONGRATULATE 
HER UPON BEING CHOSEN AS AN EXTRAORDINARY EDUCATOR BY CURRICULUM ASSOCIATES.

Whereas, the South 
Carolina General Assembly is pleased to learn that Curriculum Associates has 
named Brantley Lombr to its nationwide 2026 class of Extraordinary Educators; 
and

Whereas, the 
Extraordinary Educators award recognizes educators who exhibit best-in-class 
use of i-Ready and/or Ready and who illustrate growth and achievement 
via formal assessments, demonstrate innovation and engagement practices for 
students, are evangelists for high standards and student achievement, and have 
been teaching for at least two years; and

Whereas, in her fourth 
year of teaching, Ms. Lombr teaches second grade at Sandhills Primary School in 
Swansea; and

Whereas, in addition to 
her teaching duties, Ms. Lombr demonstrates leadership by personalizing student 
instruction and further by encouraging colleagues to implement similar 
strategies to support student growth across her grade-level team; and

Whereas, Ms. Lombr 
earned her bachelor's degree in early childhood education from the University 
of South Carolina, where she discovered her passion for shaping the next 
generation of leaders through compassion, curiosity, and academic excellence; 
and

Whereas, beyond the 
classroom, Ms. Lombr is a passionate advocate for families impacted by 
traumatic brain injuries, a cause close to her heart after her husband suffered 
one early in their marriage and during her first year of teaching; and

Whereas, Ms. Lombr is 
guided by the belief that every student deserves the opportunity to succeed, 
not just those in her classroom. Ms. Lombr takes the time to individualize 
students' needs and adjusts her teaching methods to ensure every child feels 
capable, valued, and understood. Her goal is for every student to know that 
they belong and that their growth matters, no matter where they start; and

Whereas, founded in 
1969, Curriculum Associates LLC designs research-based print and online 
instructional materials, assessments, and data management tools. Today, the 
company's programs are used in three-quarters of the state's school districts; 
and

Whereas, the annual 
program celebrates and connects exemplary teachers from around the country. 
This year's recipients are among twenty-five teachers from thirteen states 
chosen for this honor; and

Whereas, Ms. Lombr will 
have access to a network of peers across the country with whom she can 
collaborate and connect and from whom she can learn throughout 2026. She will 
also receive unique professional development opportunities from Curriculum 
Associates. Along with other honorees, she will be invited to participate and 
present at the Extraordinary Educators Leadership Summit, as well as other 
professional learning events throughout the year; and

Whereas, the State of 
South Carolina is deeply grateful to the fine cadre of teachers across the 
Palmetto State, like Brantley Lombr, who embody excellence in educating our 
young people. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the 
Senate, the House of Representatives concurring:

That the members of the 
South Carolina General Assembly, by this resolution, recognize and honor 
Brantley Lombr of Sandhills Primary School in Swansea and congratulate her upon 
being chosen as an Extraordinary Educator by Curriculum Associates.

Be it further resolved that 
a copy of this resolution be presented to Brantley Lombr.
