Superintendent’s Corner: Teachers deserve praise all year

Teacher Appreciation Week is May 6-10 this year. As the summer approaches and year-end activities ramp up, this is a time during which we offer our teachers the congratulations and recognition that we frankly mean to offer year-round. To put it mildly, these are eventful times in public education. Sometimes, our voice in support of teachers is hard to hear in the constant activity.
