A HOUSE RESOLUTION

TO CONGRATULATE SUMTER SCHOOL DISTRICT 17 ON RECEIVING ITS SECOND CONSECUTIVE "WHAT PARENTS WANT" AWARD FROM SCHOOLMATCH, A NATIONAL EDUCATION CONSULTING FIRM.

Whereas, Sumter School District 17 was recognized recently as a recipient of the "What Parents Want" award from SchoolMatch, a national education consulting firm; and

Whereas, this year is the second consecutive year School District 17 has been honored; and

Whereas, School District 17 was one of only ten winners from South Carolina this year and one of only two last year; and

Whereas, fewer than ten percent of the nation's almost 16,000 public school districts were recognized as award recipients; and

Whereas, School District 17 demonstrated competitiveness in academic test scores and teacher salaries, a high monetary investment in instructional material and library and media services, small classes, and nationally recognized excellence; and

Whereas, those areas are the most highly sought characteristics by parents of school children; and

Whereas, district superintendent Dr. Andrena Ray is justifiably proud of the affirmation of the efforts in District 17. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the House of Representatives, by this resolution, congratulate Sumter School District 17 on receiving its second consecutive "What Parents Want" award from SchoolMatch, a national education consulting firm.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to Dr. Andrena Ray, Superintendent, on behalf of School District 17.
