Whereas schools that emphasize personalized learning envi-
ronments, integration of arts and technology in project 
based learning, and development of deeper learning skills 
have highly successful graduation rates, with up to 98 
percent of their graduates enrolled at an institution of 
higher education; 
Whereas the implementation of project-based learning focused 
on STEM has led to 62 percent of students being the 
first generation in their families to enroll in an institu-
tion of higher education and a near zero secondary school 
dropout rate; 
Whereas 74 percent of pre-K through 12th-grade teachers 
say technology enables them to reinforce and expand on 
content and respond to a variety of learning styles, as it 
gives them the flexibility to teach to individual students’ 
strengths; 
Whereas different programs or devices can be implemented 
for collaborative learners while other programs may bet-
ter suit those students who prefer to work individually; 
Whereas 75 percent of teachers in low-income communities 
said that they wished to have more technology in the 
classroom due to a lack of updated textbooks and mate-
rials; and 
Whereas September 18 would be an appropriate date to des-

Whereas since 1969, black lung benefits have been guaran-
teed by the Federal Government and have provided as-
sistance for miners and their widows; 
Whereas in 1981, the Black Lung Benefits Act was amended 
tightening eligibility requirements and eliminating two

ment benefits; 
Whereas the Black Lung Benefits Act was restored and 
amended into the Patient Protection and Affordable Care
