Board Policy
Commendations And Awards
The Board of Education believes that individuals and organizations deserve recognition when they provide contributions or long-standing service to the district. The Board believes that commending such service promotes increased community understanding and participation.
The Superintendent or designee shall establish procedures by which Board members, employees or members of the community may suggest persons or organizations for Board recognition. At the Board's discretion, letters of recognition, Board resolutions, plaques or awards may be presented.
The Board encourages similar forms of recognition for achievement or services as part of school-level commendation programs.
