The bill, S. 953, is a Senate Resolution that honors the Center for Educator Recruitment, Retention, and Advancement (CERRA) on its fortieth anniversary. It acknowledges CERRA's significant contributions to addressing the teacher shortage in South Carolina since its establishment in 1985, including the expansion of its Teacher Cadets program and the South Carolina Teaching Fellows Program, which has supported over eight hundred college students. The resolution highlights CERRA's various initiatives, such as mentor training, National Board Certification facilitation, and the annual Supply and Demand Report, which informs education policy in the state.

Additionally, the resolution designates March 24, 2026, as "CERRA Recognition and Celebration Day" to commemorate the organization's impact on education in South Carolina. The Senate expresses its congratulations to CERRA for its dedication to recruitment and retention efforts in the education sector and plans to present a copy of the resolution to CERRA's executive director, Dr. Lindsay Yearta.
