Board recognizes teachers, school‑food agency and classified staff
Summary
Trustees used the April 30 meeting to honor 2025 Teacher Tribute honorees, declare School Lunch Hero Day (May 2), California Day of the Teacher (May 14), and Classified School Employee Week (May 19–23); representatives accepted recognitions.
The board dedicated a portion of its April 30 meeting to recognizing district educators and support staff. Superintendent Dr. Catherine Kawaguchi and trustees honored the listed 2025 Teacher Tribute honorees from each school, and presented certificates to certificated and classified staff members. The transcript lists honorees by school (for example, Mallory Langley at Canyon Springs and Malissa Monroe at Sulphur Springs Community School).
Trustees also approved multiple recognition resolutions: Resolution R‑25‑08 designating May 2, 2025 as 'School Lunch Hero Day' (accepted by Alecia Woods of the Santa Clarita Valley School Food Services Agency); Resolution R‑25‑09 declaring May 14, 2025 'California Day of the Teacher' (accepted by SSDTA President Rikki Fayne); and Resolution R‑25‑10 declaring May 19–23, 2025 'Classified School Employee Week' (accepted by CSEA representatives Kristi Simpronio and Janella Wigdor). The motions for these recognitions passed unanimously by voice vote in the meeting minutes.
Dr. Kawaguchi framed the recognitions as gratitude for staff dedication, calling their commitment the "foundation of our District" in remarks recorded in the minutes. The approvals were ceremonial and did not commit funding beyond routine recognition activities.
