School board proclaims Sept. 17–23, 2025 as Constitution Week; DAR chapter noted for distributing books to students
Summary
The Okaloosa County School Board on Sept. 22 adopted a proclamation recognizing Sept. 17–23, 2025 as Constitution Week; a representative of the Daughters of the American Revolution told the board her chapter distributes constitution books to fifth graders in the district.
The Okaloosa County School Board voted 5‑0 on Sept. 22 to proclaim Sept. 17–23, 2025 as Constitution Week. Mr. Meyer read the proclamation and the board adopted it by motion (moved by Mr. Heinle; second by Ms. Vancic).
During public remarks, a representative identified in the transcript as Ms. Brown, representing the Daughters of the American Revolution (Darzee/Choctawhatchee Bay chapter), told the board that the chapter raises funds and supplies copies of the U.S. Constitution to fifth graders across Okaloosa County. She said the members distribute those books to schools and urged continued education about national history and heritage.
The proclamation text read at the meeting cited the anniversary of the drafting of the U.S. Constitution and named the dates prescribed by public law for Constitution Week. The board adopted the proclamation and posed for photos with chapter representatives.
Background: The proclamation references Public Law 915 (as read in the transcript) and affirms the board’s request that citizens study the Constitution and reflect on civic responsibilities. The transcript did not include the number of copies distributed or the chapter’s fundraising totals.
