11WHEREAS, one such high-achieving educational system
12 is the Dale County School System, which earned a 95 overall
13 score on the Alabama State and Federal Report Cards, the
14 highest ever earned by a county school system in the history
15 of Alabama; the State and Federal Report Cards are the

17 public school systems across the state and nation; and
18WHEREAS, the dedication to academic excellence
19 demonstrated by all of the fine individuals affiliated with
