Summary

House Resolution 198 is a resolution that commends Ms. Carin Platt for being selected as the 2023 Instructor of the Year at the Jackson County Campus of Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College. This resolution highlights Ms. Platt's significant contributions to the college over her 25-year tenure as a Life Learning Skills instructor. The Instructor of the Year award is presented by the Alumni Association based on nominations that reflect the nominee's excellence in teaching, service to the college, community involvement, and professional development.

Contention

While broadly supportive of educational recognition, some may argue that the focus on individual instructors could overshadow systemic issues facing community colleges, such as funding and resources. However, the resolution stays focused on celebrating individual achievement and thus does not directly address any significant contention or opposition related to educational policies.
