PROCLAMATION
"America's Safe Schools Week"
October 16 - 22, 2022
WHEREAS, schools make substantial contributions to the future of America and to the
development of our nation's young people as knowledgeable, responsible, and
productive citizens; and
WHEREAS, excellence in education is dependent on safe, secure, and peaceful school
settings; and
WHEREAS, the safety and well-being of many students, teachers, and school staff are
unnecessarily jeopardized by crime and violence, such as substance abuse, gangs,
bullying, poor discipline, vandalism, and absenteeism in our schools; and
WHEREAS, it is the responsibility of all citizens to enhance the learning experiences of
young people by helping to ensure fair and effective discipline, promote good
citizenship, and generally make schools safe and secure; and
WHEREAS, all leaders -especially those in education, law enforcement, government,
and business -should eagerly collaborate with each other to focus public attention on
school safety and identify, develop, and promote answers to these critical issues; and
WHEREAS, numerous schools and school districts throughout the country, along with
national programs, are among those innovative answers; and
WHEREAS, the observance of America's Safe Schools Week will substantially promote
efforts to provide all our nation's schools with positive and safe learning climates.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, Paul Wm. Hoefert, Mayor of the Village of Mount Prospect
proclaim October 16 - October 22 as
"AMERICA'S SAFE SCHOOLS WEEK"
in the Village of Mount Prospect and I encourage members of our community to work
together to make our schools safe, secure and peaceful places for learning, teaching
and working, free of drugs, alcohol, weapons and fear.
Paul Wm. Hoefert
Mayor
