           SUBJECT:   Teacher Appreciation Month


          SOURCE:    Author


          DIGEST:  This resolution designates the month of May 2015 as  
          Teacher Appreciation Month.


          ANALYSIS:  This resolution makes the following legislative  
          findings:


          1)Talented and hardworking teachers throughout California's  
            public, private, and charter schools are nurturing the next  
            generation of thinkers, doers, and dreamers.


          2)Teachers teach the skills that will inspire the next century  
            of professionals, entrepreneurs, innovators, and workers in  
            critically needed technical careers and professions.  Teachers  
            also build character, compassion, creativity, and resilience  
            among our state's children that will prepare them to take on  
            the challenges of the future. 


          3)Our best teachers are role models who show our kids how to  
            work hard and pursue a brighter future, and who further  
            encourage children's passions, inspire their imaginations, and

            help them realize the best versions of themselves.


          4)Teaching is an all-encompassing commitment, and teachers make  
            enormous sacrifices to support their pupils.


          This resolution:


          1)Designates the month of May 2015 as Teacher Appreciation  
            Month.


          2)Recognizes teachers for the significant role they play in our  
            lives and in the well-being of our state.


          3)Encourages pupils, parents, and public officials to publicly  
            recognize the hard work and dedication of teachers, and to  
            observe the month by supporting teachers through appropriate  
            activities, events, and programs.
