Resolution of Recognition
FRED of the Month

WHEREAS, the function of a Board of Education is to strive for excellence in all phases of educational programs, and;

WHEREAS, the Hardin County Board of Education deems it fitting and proper that significant awards and honors be recognized by the Board, and;

WHEREAS, the Hardin County Board of Education believes in the work ethics and characteristics described in The Fred Factor by Mark Sanborn, and;

WHEREAS, the Hardin County Board of Education believes in these characteristics so greatly that it will recognize a FRED of the Month at its regularly scheduled meeting each month during the school year;

BE IT THEREFORE RESOLVED THAT the Hardin County Board of Education, meeting in regular session on November 18, 2010, does hereby recognize the following:

Mrs. Kelly Miller, fourth grade teacher at Heartland Elementary School.  Her nomination letter comes from a parent of a student via Mrs. Emily Campbell, principal at HES.  The parent states:

“Our son broke his leg a month ago and has a full leg cast, preventing him from bending his knee.  Because of this injury the doctors advised that he should not attend school and be a part of the homebound program until he is able to return to school. Mrs. Miller informed us that she had talked with the homebound program and asked to be the one help our son with his homebound studies and keep him on track. I was truly amazed that a teacher who works all day with a class full of students will work with our son approximately two hours at my house on her own time two-to-three days a week. My husband and I come from a family of teachers and they are even very impressed with Mrs. Miller.  She has made an impact on this family that will never be forgotten.  She certainly has love for her students and a deep desire to teach.”

The Board extends its congratulations to Mrs. Miller for the recognition she has earned for herself and Hardin County Schools.

6. Focus on Academics - Tim Maggard - Video Conferencing  
Mr. Tim Maggard shared information regarding video conferencing in the district.  He presented a DVD created by some HCEC-TV students explaining the system.
