Milpitas Unified Board adopts resolution honoring teachers during Appreciation Week

The Milpitas Unified School District Board of Education adopted a resolution at its May 12, 2026, meeting recognizing teachers for their contributions to students and urging the community to publicly express appreciation during Teacher Appreciation Week and on the California Day of the Teacher.

A student council representative reading on behalf of Mabel Meadows Elementary School introduced "Resolution 20 26.34," saying it recognized teachers "for their invaluable contribution to learners" and asking parents, caregivers and others to join in appreciation.

The resolution’s recitals praise teachers as listeners, role models and mentors who partner with families and the community to inspire students and support civic development. It also notes the district serves "more than 10,000 students" and describes the special skills required by teachers who work with students with special needs.

The text cites California Education Code 37222, which designates the second Wednesday in May as California Day of the Teacher, and it references Teacher Appreciation Week and Teacher Appreciation Day beginning May 5. The document "resolves that the Milpitas Unified School District Board of Education acknowledges the contributions of all teachers and urges parents, caregivers, students, and the community to express their appreciation for the teachers and their contributions publicly."

The resolution was recorded as "Passed and adopted by the Milpitas Unified School District Board of Education at a meeting held on 05/12/2026." The reading closed with a dedication "for Mabel Meadows Elementary School" and a final "Happy Teacher Appreciation."
