Board honors Hong Jang as Sunol Glen Unified Teacher of the Year
Summary
The Sunol Glen Unified board unanimously approved a resolution recognizing Hong Jang as the district's 2024 teacher of the year, praising her classroom practice and long service to kindergarten and first-grade students.
The Sunol Glen Unified School District board on Tuesday unanimously approved a resolution honoring Hong Jang as the district's 2024 Teacher of the Year.
Board members read a resolution that described Jang's long service at the school and her dedication to students' academic and social-emotional needs. "She truly deserves, the award and the recognition of her," the board stated while reading the resolution. Several parents and volunteers rose during the public-comment period to praise Jang's classroom approach and the positive impact she has on students' reading, writing and social skills.
The resolution notes that Jang was recognized by the Alameda County Office of Education among the county awardees and that the board attended the county award ceremony. The board then voted "Aye" to adopt Resolution No. 24-2025-12, formally commending Jang and authorizing a district acknowledgment.
The recognition follows public comments from parents and community members who credited Jang with strong family communication and individualized supports. The board said it will take a photo and present the resolution to Jang at the school.
The board did not take any budgetary actions specifically tied to the resolution; it was a formal recognition item placed on the meeting agenda and approved by voice vote.
