                               RESOLUTION

 
 Recognizing Interscholastic Athletic Administrators' Day on December 
                               14, 2023.

Whereas, each December, the Senate recognizes the positive contributions of 
        interscholastic athletic administrators;
Whereas the Senate recognizes the position of interscholastic athletic 
        administrator as an important contributor to the education of students 
        in the United States that helps foster the development of students 
        physically, mentally, socially, and emotionally;
Whereas, for students, interscholastic athletic participation is an integral 
        part of the educational experience and enhances the learning and 
        maturation process;
Whereas interscholastic athletic administrators serve as guardians of education-
        based athletics, which includes ensuring the safety and well-being of 
        all student-athletes;
Whereas interscholastic athletic administrators have stewardship over more than 
        7,800,000 students in high schools across the United States;
Whereas the existence of well-trained and supported interscholastic athletic 
        administrators is essential to the operation of the education system in 
        the United States;
Whereas interscholastic athletic administrators are often among the first 
        individuals to arrive 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 interscholastic 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 State interscholastic athletic administrator associations report that 
        the field is experiencing high turnover rates;
Whereas the retention of the interscholastic athletic administrator workforce in 
        the United States is essential to protecting school-based athletics as 
        part of a robust educational experience; and
Whereas the athletic programs run by interscholastic athletic administrators 
        have impacts that extend well beyond playing fields, athletic venues, 
        and even schools: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate--
            (1) supports the annual recognition of Interscholastic 
        Athletic Administrators' Day on December 14, 2023;
            (2) commends interscholastic athletic administrators for 
        the commitment and leadership provided to student-athletes at 
        the secondary school level; and
            (3) commends the National Interscholastic Athletic 
        Administrators Association as the leading organization that 
        prepares individuals who lead secondary school athletics 
        throughout the United States, providing continuous learning, 
        professional development, and resources to assist 
        interscholastic athletic administrators.
                                 <all>
