care to students and joins school districts in California and across the U.S. in

mandated vision and hearing screenings, as well as dental and scoliosis screenings

for students, conduct more than 1,000 health assessments annually, and provide

hundreds of medical treatments for children with special medical needs; and

WHEREAS school nurses are dedicated healthcare professionals who work in collaboration

with families, schools and communities to develop and promote comprehensive

healthcare programs for our youth, especially children with multiple and severe

health handicaps as well as those children who have unmet health care needs; and

WHEREAS students’ attendance and academic achievement benefit significantly from having

a school nurse, and schools and communities benefit greatly from the expertise

and guidance of school nurses on issues such as infectious disease prevention and

honoring the thousands of women and men who have chosen the education

profession, have accepted positions in the public schools, and who are building

exemplary careers in this field; and

WHEREAS being a good teacher goes far beyond the act of merely delivering facts and

information; good teachers encourage students to learn and strive for success,

develop in students lifelong skills on which the students' futures depend, and give

support and guidance to children and youth during the formative years of their

lives; and

WHEREAS additionally, May 8, 2015, has been chosen as the day to honor teachers in the San

Bernardino City Unified School District, who are second-to-none in their chosen

WHEREAS classified employees work with commitment in forwarding the mission of the San

Bernardino City Unified School District and thereby provide many benefits to this

community, its schools, and the state of California; and

WHEREAS our School District joins the state of California in setting aside May 17-23, 2015,

as a fitting time to honor classified employees and recognize their long and

excellent service record;
