The Charles County Board of Education recognized five Charles County Public Schools employees at its Oct. 13 meeting, according to a district announcement reported by the SoMD Chronicle. Principals introduced each honoree to the board. The board also recognized five students at the same meeting.
Two honorees are special education teachers. One, at J.P. Ryon Elementary, has led her school's special education team for three years, recently earned National Board Certification and is pursuing a doctorate. The other, at William A. Diggs Elementary, moved from second grade into special education, where she co-teaches, provides interventions, helps build individualized student schedules and oversees the school's behavior support program while working on a master's degree.
Two instructional assistants were also honored. One works at Glymont Middle School, supporting athletics, extracurriculars and several volunteer programs. The other works at the F.B. Gwynn Educational Center and was recognized for small-group and one-on-one instruction and careful handling of confidential student information. The fifth honoree is a building service worker at Thomas Stone High School who maintains campus cleanliness and sanitation practices and is often first to respond to unexpected incidents. Principals praised each employee's contributions.
Why it matters
Public recognition at board meetings highlights roles that families may not often see, including special education staff, instructional assistants and building service workers. It shows what the district says it values in employees who support students day to day.
