Agenda Item Summary:
|
Local businesses have the power to shape community attitudes about public schools, and the VSBA Business Honor Roll is a way for local school divisions to recognize local businesses for their support, especially as schools face increasing budget uncertainty. The Business Honor Roll helps divisions say “thank you” to these businesses for their vital contributions.
Businesses large and small, corporate-owned or family-run, play a key role in supporting our communities and local schools. They contribute to our school divisions in many ways, including helping schools with in-kind or financial contributions, donating to scholarship programs, supporting extracurricular activities, offering internship opportunities, volunteering in the schools, and sponsoring field trips. This type of support is invaluable.
|
|
Background:
|
Each year, VSBA asks local school boards to provide names of local businesses who have given invaluable support to their schools. The School Board adopts a resolution naming up to 3 businesses for recognition by VSBA as well as by the nominating school board.
This year the Alexandria City School Board focused on local businesses who have given tremendous support to the Scholarship Fund of Alexandria.

Recommendation:
