Whereas the position of interscholastic athletic administrator 

involves serving as guardian over education-based athletics, which includes assuring the safety and well-being 

of all students; 

Whereas interscholastic athletic administrators have stewardship over more than 8,000,000 students in secondary 

schools across the United States; 

Whereas the existence of well-trained and supported athletic 

administrators is essential to the operation of our Nation’s education system; 

Whereas school athletic administrators are often among the 

first at school each morning so that student-athletes have 

opportunities to use athletic facilities, stay later in the 

evening as various sports teams practice, and often work 

weekends during interscholastic competitions; 

Whereas school athletic administrators are committed to developing and maintaining comprehensive education-based 

athletic programs that seek to achieve the highest development of all student-athletes; 

Whereas the interscholastic athletic administrator field is experiencing high turnover rates, with as many as 33 percent of secondary school athletic administrators expected 

to resign or retire within the next couple of years; 

Whereas the retention of the interscholastic athletic administrator workforce in the United States is essential in protecting school-based athletics as part of a robust educational experience; and 

Whereas the athletic programs run by school athletic administrators have impacts that extend well beyond playing 

fields, athletic venues, and even schools: Now, therefore, 

be it
