WHEREAS,               Advances in curriculum resources and Internet tools that promise greater opportunities to students can become barriers to learning if the resources and tools are not accessible to all learners; and

WHEREAS,               Universal access to the curriculum requires the involvement of all stakeholders, including policymakers, educational leaders, teachers, parents, curriculum publishers, etc; and

                                    LOUISIANA ACCESSIBILITY AWARENESS WEEK

On the motion of Mrs. Latiolais, seconded by Mr. Fuselier, and carried, the Board approved the following proclamation declaring September 11-16, 2006 as American Character Week:

1.  September 11, 2006 will be the Fifth anniversary of unprecedented terrorist attacks resulting in a momentous loss of life and property.

2.  The terrorist hope to bring Americans to their knees.  Instead, they brought Americans to their feet. The terrorist hoped to demoralize and intimidate Americans and undermine their way of life.  Instead, Americans became more resolute in their commitment to cherished democratic and humanitarian principles that form the moral foundation of this nation.

3.  The anniversary of tragedy is also an anniversary of triumph, a triumph of character – courage over cowardice, kindness over cruelty, service over selfishness, responsibility over indifference, love over hate, hope over fear and freedom over repression.

4.  We should demonstrate our respect for the victims of this terrible day by commemorating the lives lost and damaged, but we should also honor and celebrate the countless acts of courage, compassion, loyalty, responsibility and other qualities that represent the best in human nature and the American character.

5.  September 11^th should not only be remembered as a day of great misfortune, but as a reminder of the great fortune we possess in the character of our people and in living in a country where character counts.

6.  It should be a day of reflections and education involving activities that strengthen appreciation of and dedication to the core ethical values that constitute the pillars of the American character such as trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, caring, fairness and good citizenship.

7.  It should also be a day of action devoted to community service, an element of good citizenship and an expression of good character. Community service improves neighborhoods, eases suffering and reduces injustice while enhancing the lives and strengthening the characters of those who render it.

8.  Community service is also a matter of national policy expressed in President George W. Bush’s call for all Americans to give at least 4,000 hours of service and The Spirit of American Act seeking to assure that the lives lost on September 11^th are commemorated by acts of volunteer service.

THEREFORE, Be it resolved that I, E. R. Valerie Haaga, Superintendent of St. Martin Parish Schools, proclaim the period commencing September 11, 2006 and ending September 16, 2006 as ”r;American Character Week” and call upon schools, youth organizations, community groups and government agencies to use this period to:

1)  Discuss and study the lives of Americans of extraordinary character.

2)  Recognize local individuals who have in the past year demonstrated the highest qualities of the American character.

3)  Teach young people about and encourage them to consider careers in public service.

4)  Provide service-learning opportunities to young people including at least one hour of service during this period as a first step in a commitment to a life of regular community service.

WHEREAS, adolescent suicide cuts across ethnic, economic, social, and age boundaries and is a significant cause of death in Louisiana and the United States; and

WHEREAS, suicide is the 3^rd leading cause of death for young people between the ages of 15-24 in Louisiana and the United States, claiming over 5,000 lives a year; and

WHEREAS, statistics reveal that 95 percent of all suicides are preventable with the proper prevention and awareness.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, E. R. Valerie Haaga, Superintendent, and the St. Martin Parish School Board, do hereby proclaim September 17,-23, 2006 as
