To designate the week of January 27 - February 3, | 1 |
2013, as National School Choice Week. | 2 |
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE STATE OF OHIO
(THE SENATE CONCURRING):
WHEREAS, Since each child is unique, families should have | 3 |
various options for educating their children, and National School | 4 |
Choice Week was created to promote freedom of choice in America's | 5 |
educational system. This observance is a fitting time to honor | 6 |
those involved for supporting and advocating for public charter | 7 |
schools in our state, and their efforts are a justifiable source | 8 |
of pride and an outstanding reflection not only on themselves but | 9 |
also on the hard-working educators, administrators, and staff; and | 10 |
WHEREAS, Education is vital to our nation's continued | 11 |
economic and social well-being, and as the need for global | 12 |
learning and understanding increases, so do the demands placed | 13 |
upon our system of education. Thus, we pay tribute to those | 14 |
individuals who respond to these demands by promoting alternative | 15 |
educational choices for our children; and | 16 |
WHEREAS, Schools provide young people with much more than | 17 |
basic educational skills and enable children to learn the value of | 18 |
such important qualities as cooperation, self-discipline, and | 19 |
perseverance. As the citizens of the State of Ohio observe this | 20 |
special event, students, staff, and former students of public | 21 |
charter schools can be justly proud of their education, as well as | 22 |
the educational options available to future students; now | 23 |
therefore be it | 24 |
RESOLVED, That we, the members of the 130th General Assembly | 25 |
of the State of Ohio, designate the week of January 27 - February | 26 |
3, 2013, as National School Choice Week; and be it further | 27 |
RESOLVED, That the Clerk of the House of Representatives | 28 |
transmit duly authenticated copies of this resolution to the | 29 |
Governor of Ohio and the news media of Ohio. | 30 |
