The Town of Collierville issued a resolution echoing the Collierville Schools Board of Education resolution supporting teachers tonight at the July 11, 2022, Board of Mayor and Aldermen Meeting. This show of support came days after the School Board issued a special-called meeting to present Resolution 2023-01 “Support of Educators”.

A portion of the resolution read by Town Administrator James Lewellen stated: “Resolution 2022-29 acknowledges the importance of an excellent public education system to both the quality of life and the economic prosperity of the Town of Collierville.”

This show of support is following Governor Bill Lee’s hesitation to speak out against a college professor who spoke poorly about educators while at a function with the Governor.

The Board of Mayor and Aldermen voted unanimously in favor of the resolution showing their full support for the Board of Education and the Collierville Schools teachers for their dedication to educating children in the Collierville community.
