The board used part of its Nov. 25 meeting to adopt resolutions honoring Lincoln High School teachers for recent geography-education awards.
One resolution congratulated Chris Turley for receiving a K–12 distinguished teaching award from the National Council for Geographic Education. Turley addressed the board, thanked family and colleagues and credited mentorship and collaboration within Lincoln Public Schools and state geography-education groups.
A second resolution recognized a Lincoln High social studies teacher for selection by the Geographic Educators of Nebraska for a multi-part award. The text of the resolution praised the teacher’s leadership in curriculum development, mentoring and professional learning.
Both resolutions were moved and seconded during the meeting and adopted; the items were ceremonial and carried no fiscal impact. Awardees used their remarks to highlight teamwork, curriculum work and appreciation for mentors and district supports.
