Board proclaims California Retired Teachers Week, adds language noting retired teachers serve on school boards
Summary
The board approved a proclamation recognizing California Retired Teachers Week and amended the text to explicitly acknowledge retired teachers' service on local school boards before passing the resolution.
The Mendocino County Office of Education board approved a proclamation recognizing California Retired Teachers Week and agreed to add language acknowledging that retired teachers serve on school boards.
Superintendent explained the annual recognition and said retired teachers continue to "contribute to our schools in very significant ways" through volunteering, mentorship and advocacy. A board member suggested adding a clause noting retired teachers often serve on school boards; staff agreed to include that language and the amended proclamation passed by voice vote.
Board members and attendees also referenced the California Retired Teachers Association and local chapters; one board member noted Ed Kappas leads Division 55 for Mendocino County and described the organization's volunteer reporting. The proclamation was framed as a local recognition with no fiscal implications.
