The Livonia Public Schools Board of Education unanimously adopted a resolution recognizing Read Across America and March as reading month.
Trustee Dave McFarland moved to adopt the resolution, supported by Mrs. Jarvis.

The board approved the motion by roll-call vote, with all members voting yes.
Superintendent Oakquist and trustees encouraged community members to sign up as guest readers in schools and noted links to district resources and committee-of-the-whole videos on the district website for more background.
