Memorials, Recognition - Glenda Akin -

This bill honors Glenda Akin, a retired educator from Westmoreland High School, for setting a Guinness World Record for the longest career by a female teacher in the same school. The resolution formally recognizes her sixty-one years of service, which began in 1963, and acknowledges the school library that was renamed in her honor. It does not create new laws or change government policies but serves as a ceremonial tribute to her contributions to education in Tennessee.
