At a Terrebonne Parish School Board meeting last night, Superintendent Philip Martin read a proclamation recognizing March 19, 2020, as “Retired Teachers’ Day” in the Terrebonne Parish School District.
“Louisiana’s retired teachers have devoted their careers to the education and training of tens of thousands of Louisiana’s youth,” reads the proclamation. “…Louisiana’s retired teachers have rendered valuable services in diverse leadership roles to their communities and institutions throughout their careers and continue to render such services as retirees.”
The Board unanimously approved the proclamation, which was received by representatives of local retired teachers organizations.
