STABENOW, and Mr. FORD) submitted the following resolution; which was
referred to the Committee on Education and the Workforce
RESOLUTION
To express the sense of the House of Representatives
regarding the outstanding achievements of NetDay.
Whereas the children of the United States deserve the finest
preparation possible to face the demands of the world’s
changing information-based economy;
Whereas NetDay is a grass-roots effort to provide elementary
and secondary schools with the infrastructure needed to
network computers in those school and connect them with
the Internet;
Whereas labor and materials for the work done by NetDay
are provided by volunteers and support from businesses,
unions, parents, teachers, students, and school employees,
thereby saving schools and taxpayers millions of dollars;
•HRES 38 IH
Whereas students and schools benefit from significant
NetDay corporate sponsorship and donations, from hun-
dreds of businesses and organizations throughout the na-
tion who contributed by sponsoring individual schools,
providing wiring kits, and helping to design and test the
networks;
Whereas NetDay activities nationwide will help elementary
and secondary schools acquire educational technology,
such as computer hardware, software, Internet and tech-
nical services, teaching aids, and training materials;
Whereas in 1996, more than 100,000 NetDay volunteers in-
stalled the wiring infrastructure necessary to efficiently
and affordably connect 25,000 elementary and secondary
schools nationwide to the information superhighway,
bringing the children in those schools the educational
benefits of contemporary technology;
Whereas NetDay organizers created a World Wide Web site
which provides access to an on-line database of elemen-
tary and secondary schools where individuals with a
shared interest in upgrading technology in schools can lo-
cate each other and form lasting communities;
Whereas NetDay stresses educational opportunities for all
children by reaching out to public and private schools in
urban and rural communities of all income levels in an
attempt to equalize access to current technology;
Whereas the relationships formed through NetDay activities
and initiatives between schools and surrounding commu-
nities will last into the 21st century and other commu-
nities are planning future NetDay activities that build
and expand upon the initial achievements of the 1996
NetDay activities;
