Special Instructions

Approval of your proclamation request is not guaranteed. Submitting this form only ensures that your request will be considered.

Printed copies of proclamations will not be distributed or made available during this time.

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.

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

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