Offered by: Representatives Williams of Granby, Beck of St. Johnsbury, Campbell of
St. Johnsbury, LaBounty of Lyndon, and Quimby of Lyndon Offered by: Senators Ingalls and Starr Whereas, the education career of Jennifer Botzojorns has reflected both her deep commitment to educating the students under her charge and the abundant energy and enthusiasm she brings to this task, and Whereas, Jennifer Botzojorns started on her professional path as a classroom teacher and progressed to the roles of school principal, curriculum director, and assistant superintendent, and Whereas, based on this broad foundation and her outstanding reputation, the former Caledonia North Supervisory Union Board selected Jennifer Botzojorns to guide this education administrative jurisdiction through its transformation into the larger Kingdom East School District, which was formed upon the enactment of Act 46 and includes the towns of Burke, Concord, Lunenburg, Lyndon, Newark, Sheffield, and Sutton, and Whereas, Jennifer Botzojorns proved an ideal choice for this challenging assignment as
she oversaw the successful integration of these communities into the new district, improved the education processes that already existed, and tackled the unexpected and daunting additional responsibilities resulting from the arrival of COVID-19, and Whereas, Jennifer Botzojorns, who served on the Board of Trustees of the Vermont Superintendents Association, epitomizes the highest attributes of a public education administrator, and, in 2023, she was deservedly honored as the Frederick H. Tuttle Vermont Superintendent of the Year, and Whereas, although Jennifer Botzojorns concluded her service as Kingdom East School District Superintendent in June 2023, she looks forward to continued involvement in the field of public education, now therefore be it Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives:
That the General Assembly honors the academic and administrative leadership of
former Kingdom East School District Superintendent Jennifer Botzojorns, and be it further Resolved: That the Secretary of State be directed to send a copy of this resolution to
Jennifer Botzojorns and the Kingdom East School District.
