A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

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
