The resolution designates February 2026 as School Board Appreciation Month in Vermont, recognizing the vital role that locally elected school board members play in their communities. It highlights the challenges these officials face, including the scrutiny of their decisions, the need to balance sustainable budgets with educational opportunities, and the complexities introduced by recent public education governance legislation. The resolution emphasizes that school board members often do not receive the appreciation they deserve for their significant contributions to education and community well-being.

The resolution calls for the General Assembly to officially recognize this month to honor the dedication and hard work of school board members across the state. Additionally, it directs the Secretary of State to send a copy of the resolution to the Vermont School Board Association, ensuring that the acknowledgment of their service is communicated to relevant stakeholders.
