The House Education Committee unanimously approved House Resolution 9, which designates January 2025 as School Director Recognition Month in Pennsylvania; the clerk recorded 26 yeas and zero nays.
House Resolution 9, sponsored by Chairman Cerisi, recognizes the volunteer service of local school directors. "For those in this room who have served on school boards ... we would hear the worst of the community and also the best of the community," Chairman Cerisi said, urging members to reach out to local school boards and thank them for their service.
Several members concurred, noting the many unpaid hours school directors contribute. Representative O'Meara recalled beginning her own public service as a student representative on a school board and urged colleagues to take the resolution to their local districts. Representative Schlegel and others described the work as time-consuming and often thankless.
The resolution passed on a unanimous voice/roll call (26-0) and was reported from the House Education Committee as committed.
