A house RESOLUTION
TO CONGRATULATE AND HONOR DR. FRANK RODRIGUEZ OF BEAUFORT COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT UPON BEING NAMED 2025 SOUTH CAROLINA SUPERINTENDENT OF THE YEAR BY THE SOUTH CAROLINA ASSOCIATION OF SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS.
Whereas, in recognition of his many contributions to education, Dr. Frank Rodriguez, superintendent of Beaufort County School District, has been named 2025 South Carolina Superintendent of the Year by the South Carolina Association of School Administrators (SCASA); and
Whereas, this award is presented annually to a district superintendent as part of the national Superintendent of the Year program of the American Association of School Administrators; and
Whereas, in preparation for a distinguished career in education, Beaufort County School District Superintendent Frank Rodriguez earned his bachelor of science in social science education from Florida State University (1993), his master's degree in curriculum and instruction from Florida Atlantic University (2000), and his doctorate in educational leadership from Florida Atlantic University (2009); and
Whereas, prior to beginning his tenure as Beaufort County School District superintendent, Dr. Rodriguez spent twenty-six years serving the South Florida education community in a variety of capacities. These include service as a secondary social studies teacher and as a program coordinator for the Florida Department of Education. In the Palm Beach County schools, he served as an elementary and secondary principal, area director of school transformation, assistant superintendent over six district departments, area superintendent, and regional superintendent. Dr. Rodriguez presently lives in Beaufort County with his wife and their two children; and
Whereas, an active member of the SCASA Superintendents' Affiliate, Dr. Rodriguez has had a tremendous impact on Beaufort County through his exceptional leadership, communication skills, and student-focused initiatives. His innovative community engagement programs helped address pandemic learning loss, resulting in the district's best-ever ELA scores. Dr. Rodriguez fostered trust through initiatives like the Citizen-Led Oversight Committee to monitor bond spending, contributing to voters overwhelmingly approving the district's largest-ever bond referendum in 2023; and
Whereas, Dr. Rodriguez will be recognized throughout the year for his accomplishments. Moseley Architects supports this award by providing a scholarship to the winner to be used to assist a student or teacher with professional development or college courses; and
