DEPARTMENTAL RECOMMENDATION:
Supervisor Vasquez requests that the Board adopt a resolution recognizing April 19, 2024 as Education and Sharing Day, U.S.A., 2024 in Solano County.
SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
April 19, 2024 will be observed as "Education & Sharing Day" in the United States. This has been a national tradition since 1978, in recognition of the achievements of the Rebbe - Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson.
Each year on the Rebbe's birth, a proclamation has been signed by the President of the United States urging all Americans to utilize the day to pause and reflect on our responsibility to ensure that our youth have the foundation necessary to lead lives rich in purpose, fulfillment and service to others.
Proclaiming Education & Sharing Day in Solano County provides an excellent opportunity for Solano County to demonstrate its dedication to teaching our children the values that will prepare them for lives as productive citizens.
April 19, 2024, will mark 122 years since the Rebbe’s birth.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The costs associated with preparing the agenda item are nominal and absorbed by the District 4 FY2023/24 Working Budget. The costs associated with the preparation and purchase of the resolution materials are included in the Board’s FY2023/24 Working Budget.
ALTERNATIVES:
The Board could choose not to approve this resolution, however, that is not recommended as this is an opportunity to raise awareness for education and its importance for our youth and the future strength of our community.
