Reps. Brown, Slavens, Barnett, Constan, Darany, Durhal, Geiss, Goike, Heise, LeBlanc, Lindberg and Liss offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 249. 

A resolution to declare May 16, 2012, as High School Radio Day in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, Any radio station in a high school should celebrate its existence because there are so few of them nationwide; and

Whereas, In Michigan, only one percent of the high schools in the state have a radio station and that number is dropping due to school district budget cuts; and

Whereas, Generally, only one to five percent of the students who attend a high school are actually able to work on the radio station; and

Whereas, Terrestrial and internet-only radio stations located in high schools around the country will be celebrating the day; and

Whereas, The first high school radio station ever, WNAS, was created in May of 1949; and

Whereas, Students and advisors are uniting as one on the same day to celebrate the accomplishments of high school radio shows; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare May 16, 2012, as High School Radio Day in the state of Michigan.
