Memorials, Retirement - Linda Sklar -
SJR 20 is a ceremonial resolution passed by the Tennessee General Assembly to honor Linda Sklar upon her retirement from Memphis-Shelby County Schools (MSCS). It recognizes her nearly 50-year career with MSCS, including 13 years as Director of Optional Schools and advanced academic programs, and commends her professionalism and dedication to education. The resolution does not create new laws or policies - it is purely a symbolic gesture of appreciation, adopted by both the Senate and House and signed by the Governor on February 10, 2025. It directly affects no individuals or entities beyond acknowledging Sklar's service.
