The bill H. 5259 is a House Resolution that honors the fortieth anniversary of the Center for Educator Recruitment, Retention, and Advancement (CERRA) in South Carolina. Established in 1985, CERRA has played a significant role in addressing the teacher shortage in the state through various programs, including the Teacher Cadets and the South Carolina Teaching Fellows Program, which has supported over 800 college students and boasts a high graduation rate. The resolution highlights CERRA's contributions to public education, including mentor training, National Board Certification facilitation, and the annual Supply and Demand Report that informs education policy.

In recognition of CERRA's impact and commitment to advancing education, the resolution proclaims March 24, 2026, as "CERRA Recognition and Celebration Day" in South Carolina. The resolution concludes with a directive to present a copy to Dr. Lindsay Yearta, the Executive Director of CERRA, acknowledging the organization's integral role in the state's education system.
