HOUSE RESOLUTION

 
2     WHEREAS, State Representative Monique D. Davis, together
3 with the members of the House of Representatives, recognize
4 that throughout the State of Illinois and across the country,
5 the school principal plays a pivotal role in creating a safe
6 school environment conducive to learning; each day the
7 principal is responsible for an often thankless job, the
8 education and edification of our students who are the future of
9 our State and this great nation; and
 
10     WHEREAS, The members of the House of Representatives of the
11 State of Illinois acknowledge the complexity in the roles and
12 responsibilities of the school principal, which requires
13 dedication and knowledge that each principal has gained through
14 personal experience, education, and the support of others; and
 
15     WHEREAS, The demands on the school principal have increased
16 tremendously over the past 20 years to provide quality and
17 accountability in education; effective school leadership is
18 essential if schools, teachers, students, and support staff are
19 to achieve excellence; and
 
20     WHEREAS, Many times our contact with our local principal is
21 of a negative manner, and it is important to provide positive
22 support to our principals; therefore, be it
 
23     RESOLVED, BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE
24 NINETY-FOURTH GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, that
25 to show our appreciation and gratitude for their dedication and
26 commitment to the education of our children on a daily basis
27 and throughout the year, we declare Monday, May 8, 2006, to be
28 "Hug a Principal" day in the State of Illinois, and we
29 encourage students, faculty, parents, and citizens everywhere
30 to thank their local principals on that day; and be it further
