DEPARTMENTAL RECOMMENDATION:
Supervisor Williams requests the Board adopt a resolution recognizing March 29, 2026, as Education and Sharing Day in Solano County.
SUMMARY/ DISCUSSION:
Education and Sharing Day has been recognized annually since 1978, when it was established to promote the importance of education and strengthen awareness of the role that moral and ethical instruction plays in the development of our nation’s youth.
In 2026, “Education and Sharing Day, U.S.A.” is observed on March 29, as recognized by the United States Congress and the White House. The day also honors the legacy of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, of righteous memory, whose lifelong work advanced educational opportunity and emphasized the importance of values-based learning for all Americans.
Education and Sharing Day is observed each year on the Rebbe’s birthday, with 2026 marking the 124th anniversary of his birth. Since its establishment, the day has been commemorated through annual presidential proclamations, as well as recognitions by states, counties, and municipalities nationwide, encouraging reflection on our shared responsibility to provide young people with a strong moral and ethical foundation to lead lives of purpose, fulfillment, and service.
Recognizing Education and Sharing Day in Solano County provides an opportunity to reaffirm the County’s commitment to supporting the development of children and youth through education that fosters character, responsibility, and community engagement.
