SAANYS is pleased to announce that October 2012 has been proclaimed Principals Month in New York State. This recognition by Governor Andrew Cuomo comes on October 1 in acknowledgment of current and increasing responsibilities of school principals amid growing expectations and challenges in New York schools.
October is also National Principals Month, as recognized by the US Senate and House of Representatives. SAANYS was pleased to work with the governor’s office in extending this recognition to New York State. New York State Principals Month is an opportunity for the public to learn more about the great things principals do each-and-every day for students, teachers, and community.
The proclamation is also an opportunity to raise the level of discourse surrounding public education, its leaders, and educators. With the increasing challenges facing school principals in particular, such acknowledgement of the principal’s work and pressures is productive and welcome.
“SAANYS and its members are grateful to the governor for this commendation,” commented SAANYS Executive Director Kevin Casey. “Principals are leaders, managers, teachers, and caregivers working tirelessly for New York’s students. This proclamation is a meaningful acknowledgement of their time, dedication, and perseverance.”
