Mohonasen Board of Education recognizes Officer Jackson
August 2007
At
its regular meeting on Monday, August 13, the Mohonasen Board of
Education presented School Resource Officer Ptl. Jeff Jackson with
the Board of Education Recognition Award.
“The Board of Education Recognition Award is given to someone who
has contributed significantly to the success of Mohonasen,” said
board member Nancy del Prado. “When we went through the nominations,
there was one individual who stood out, and that was Officer Jeff
Jackson.”
Jackson has served 25 years as a police officer in Rotterdam, and
has been a School Resource Officer at the Mohonasen School District
for a number of years. A few of Jackson’s many accomplishments here
in the district include teaching bike safety to students, spending
time with at-risk students, and obtaining grant money to fund safety
projects. Jackson strives to help Mohonasen stay ahead of the curve
when it comes to safety in our schools and in the community. He
always makes himself available to staff and community members
whenever help is needed.
Jackson accepted the award with his family, friends and co-workers
present. He was given a Mohonasen logo pin with three Indians on it,
representing the three Indian tribes, “Mohawk,” “Onondaga” and
“Seneca” that make up the “Mohonasen” name. This pin was created by
the Mohonasen Board of Education a few years ago.
Thank you to the August family for nominating Officer Jackson for
the Mohonasen Board of Education Recognition Award.
Congratulations to Officer Jackson, and thank you for all that you
do!
