RES. 1511 IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES December 7, 2022 Ms. Barragán (for herself, Mr. Keller , Mr. Takano , and Mrs. Spartz ) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Education and Labor RESOLUTION Recognizing Interscholastic Athletic Administrators’ Day on December 14, 2022.

Whereas, each December, the House of Representatives recognizes the positive contributions of interscholastic athletic administrators; Whereas the position of school athletic administrator is recognized as an important contributor to the educational community, which, like other academic professions, benefits greatly from continued education and certification; Whereas the position of school athletic administrator has stewardship over the largest department of staff members and students in high schools in the United States; Whereas the position of school athletic administrator involves serving as guardian over education-based athletics, which is one of the best dropout prevention programs in schools; Whereas school athletic programs foster the development of students physically, mentally, socially, and emotionally by enriching students through the life lessons learned through participation and competition; Whereas, for students, interscholastic athletic participation is an integral part of the educational experience and enhances the learning and maturation process; 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 school athletic administrators fulfill the professional responsibilities of those administrators with integrity and with a commitment to equality, safety, and instilling a passion for athletics in the next generation; Whereas school athletic administrators preserve, enhance, and promote the educational values of athletics in schools through professional growth in the areas of education, leadership, and service; Whereas school athletic administrators create and maintain high standards of ethics, sportsmanship, and personal conduct and lead coaching staffs, student athletes, and community members in pursuit of those high standards; 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

That the House of Representatives— (1) supports the annual recognition of Interscholastic Athletic Administrators’ Day; (2) commends school 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, compassion, and preparation within the profession.
