Request For Palm Beach County School Board Proclamation
Although inclusion on the agenda is not guaranteed, an effort is made to accommodate proclamation requests. There is typically no formal, ceremonial presentation of proclamations at Board Meetings. If your proclamation request is approved, it will simply be added to the New Business portion of the Meeting Agenda.

REQUESTS FOR PALM BEACH COUNTY SCHOOL BOARD PROCLAMATION MUST BE SUBMITTED AT LEAST THREE WEEKS PRIOR TO THE BOARD MEETING DATE YOU WISH TO SELECT.

Please note that the availability of a particular date can close at any time if an excessive number of requests are received in advance.

After a review by the Communications department, Superintendent, and Executive Cabinet, the contact person you indicate on this document will be notified via email if the proclamation has been approved.

For any questions about this document or Board Proclamations, please contact Ms. Nnéka Nnolim - Executive Communications Specialist at nneka.nnolim@palmbeachschools.org.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS
Approval of your proclamation request is not guaranteed. Making a submission only ensures that your request will be considered.

Proclamations cannot reference or be used to bring attention to a specific individual’s personal issue or situation. Proclamations are designed to acknowledge a cause that is relevant to the community as a whole and/or K-12 education.

Proclamations cannot be used to promote or advertise an individual or company's products, services, or events. Additionally, proclamations cannot be structured to read like a press release for an individual or company.

The text of the proclamation cannot give the impression that it is "sponsored content" on behalf of an individual or company. This includes, but is not limited to, specific mention of an individual or company's name, initiatives, products, services, or events.

Your proclamation narrative is limited to a maximum of eight (8) separate "Whereas" statements. Anything beyond that will be removed.

Only one event/cause can be included on a proclamation. If there are multiple events/causes you wish to celebrate, a separate proclamation must be created and requested for each.

Proclamation requests must be approved by the Superintendent and Executive Cabinet. Proclamations can be approved or not approved at their sole discretion. If your request is not approved, that decision is final.

For the most part, there is no formal, ceremonial presentation of proclamations at Board Meetings. They are simply added to the New Business portion of the Meeting Agenda.

In some instances, a board member may decide to read a proclamation out loud during a board meeting. That is entirely at the discretion of the individual board member, and not under the control or direction of the Communications department.

Proclamations are not automatically renewed. You must submit a new request each time you want a proclamation added to a Meeting Agenda.

Your proclamation may be edited for grammar, punctuation, spelling, content, and length.

Please respond to requests for additional information in a timely manner.
