Senator Paula Aboud to Receive Education Award

Senator Paula Aboud will be awarded by the Arizona Association of County School Superintendents with a “Circle of Influence” award on Monday, August 24, 2009 as part of the AACSS Annual Conference at Camp Tatiyee in Pinetop-Lakeside.

This is the first year that the association has given this award, which is in honor of those who show a “sincere commitment” to public education in Arizona.

“Despite the immensely difficult economic situation our state is in, we have to continue to support our public education system. Our state’s economic viability depends greatly on the education and innovation of future generations and it is our duty to make certain they have the resources necessary for success,” said Sen. Paula Aboud.
