The Morongo Unified School Board meets in regular session. Reporter David Haldane says a day to honor teachers, a call for more teachers, and an increase in the price of meals are all on the agendaâŚ
Teachers in the Morongo Unified School District may soon have a day set aside just for them. At least thatâs the goal of a resolution to be considered by the Board of Education at its regular meeting tonight. The resolution would declare next WednesdayâMay 11âas a district-wide Day of the Teacher in honor of those, it says, âwho have dedicated their lives and talentsâ to the âtruly vital roleâ of educating students.
The resolution does not specify, exactly, how the day is to be observed.
In other actions, the board will consider putting out a call for âfully qualified educatorsâ to fill a number of open positions for next year, as well as increasing the price of student meals by 25 cents.
Tonightâs meeting gets underway 7 p.m. at Joshua Tree Elementary School on Sunburst Avenue.
