The DeKalb County Board of Education Thursday night adopted a resolution of appreciation honoring principals and assistant principals.
The resolution is as follows:
“Whereas, principals and assistant principals strive to enhance the learning and working environment for students and staff in our schools; and
Whereas, principals and assistant principals are leaders who provide important direction and support to students and employees in our district; and
Whereas, principals work diligently to enhance the working relationship between schools, parents and community to create the very best learning environment possible; and

Now, therefore, be it resolved that the DeKalb County Board of Education hereby adopts February 16 as Principal Appreciation Day in all our schools; and
Be it further resolved that the Board expresses deep appreciation to principals and assistant principals in our system and encourages the students and staff to join us in expressing appreciation to the leaders of DeKalb County Schools.”
