Our Nation's schools can give students the tools, skills, and knowledge to participate fully in our democracy, and to succeed in college, career, and life. This week, let us reaffirm the importance of education and recognize that we all share in the responsibility to educate our students.” For the entire proclamation, please click below: http://www.nea.org/assets/docs/2010education.prc.rel(1).pdf ============================================== Richland County School District One provides employee e-mail access for administrative and instructional uses only.
