The House concurrent resolution No. R-26 expresses strong appreciation for the vital role that school board members play in Vermont's public education system. It highlights the often-overlooked commitment and challenges faced by these local leaders in their civic duties. As Vermont engages in a significant examination of education financing, the resolution acknowledges the importance of school board members as key contributors to this discussion.

In recognition of their contributions, the resolution designates February as School Board Recognition Month in Vermont. It calls for the General Assembly to formally express gratitude towards these community public servants for their dedication to the success of public education. Additionally, the resolution directs the Secretary of State to send a copy to the Vermont School Boards Association to further acknowledge their efforts.
