The Bellingham School District is focused on preparing all students for college, career and citizenship. The Superintendent and School Board of Directors recognize that having opportunities to foster positive relationships among students, staff and community members is fundamental to achieving this goal.
The purpose of the Standing Committee for Recognition of District Students, Staff and Community Partners is to:
- Assist in the planning or implementation of recognition events as needed for students, staff or community partners as outlined in Board Policy and Procedures 5345 and 5345P.
- Develop criteria and process for selection of Districtwide Staff and Community Partners Annual Awards and revise, if necessary.
- Propose Districtwide Staff and Community Partners Annual Award recipients to Superintendent.
