HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 146th GENERAL ASSEMBLY |

HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION NO. 6 |
|
DECLARING MARCH 16, 2011 AS "COMMUNITIES IN SCHOOLS OF DELAWARE DAY." |
WHEREAS, Communities In Schools is one of the nation's leading and most successful organizations dedicated to empowering students to stay in school and achieve in life.This is accomplished by creating and surrounding the student and family with a community of support; and
WHEREAS, dropping out of school is a serious problem with implications reaching far beyond students and their families.Failing to graduate from high school impacts outcomes across domains, including health, employment, economic well-being, and dependence on social assistance; and
WHEREAS, Communities In Schools provides a researched-based comprehensive model and solution to the issues that place young people in jeopardy of dropping out. It also recognizes that students often need more than the best teachers or the most rigorous curriculum and standards in order to succeed—they need additional supports that will reinforce the work of educators in our schools. Whether a student needs a mentor, eyeglasses, help with homework, a nutritious meal, assistance with college access or just a safe place to learn, the Communities In Schools model in Delaware helps to identify and provide those resources each day for approximately 7,000 students in nine schools representing five school districts in Delaware; and
WHEREAS, Communities In Schools believes that every child needs and deserves a one-on-one relationship with a caring adult; a safe place to learn and grow; a healthy start and healthy future; a chance to develop a marketable skill; and a chance to give back to peers and community.
NOW, THEREFORE:
BE IT RESOLVED, that the House of Representatives of the 146th General Assembly of the State of Delaware, the Senate concurring therein, hereby declares March 16, 2011 as "Communities In Schools of Delaware Day."
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the members of the House of Representatives of the 146th General Assembly of the State of Delaware, the Senate concurring therein, on the sixteenth day in the month of March in the year two-thousand and eleven, call upon all Delaware residents to become mentors, leaders and supporters in their local schools.On behalf of a grateful state, we applaud and recognize the work of Communities In Schools both nationally and locally in helping keep kids in school and prepare them for life.
