Summary

Senate Joint Resolution 660 (SJR0660) is a formal resolution recognizing Cassandra Beamer for her selection as the 2022–2023 Grades 5-8 Teacher of the Year at Carmel Elementary School.

Contention

While SJR0660 is largely a celebratory resolution, it is important to acknowledge that discussions around educational funding and teacher recognition are ongoing in the broader legislative context.

Therefore, while the resolution honors Ms. Beamer, it also serves to remind stakeholders of the continued conversation around the overall health of the education system.
