                               RESOLUTION


 
 Recognizing Interscholastic Athletic Administrators' Day on December 
                               15, 2020.

Whereas school athletic programs develop young people physically, mentally, 
        socially, and emotionally through the life lessons learned through 
        participation and competition;
Whereas interscholastic athletic participation is an integral part of a 
        student's educational experience and enhances the learning process;
Whereas athletic administrators are committed to developing and maintaining 
        comprehensive education-based athletic programs which seek the highest 
        development of all student athletes;
Whereas athletic administrators fulfill professional responsibilities with 
        honesty, integrity, commitment to equity, and fairness;
Whereas athletic administrators preserve, enhance, and promote the educational 
        values of athletics in our schools through professional growth in the 
        areas of education, leadership, and service;
Whereas athletic administrators embody high standards of ethics, sportsmanship, 
        and personal conduct, and encourage coaching staffs, student-athletes, 
        and community members to commit to these high standards as well;
Whereas during the COVID-19 pandemic, now more than ever, we need school 
        leaders, including athletic administrators, who prepare, plan, and 
        endeavor to secure student safety and wellbeing;
Whereas during COVID-19, athletic administrators have been at the forefront of 
        overseeing their secondary school educational programs as re-opening 
        requires wisdom in preparation, adaptation, change, and relearning to be 
        shared with other school officials; and
Whereas the COVID-19 pandemic has shown the importance of athletic 
        administrators and interscholastic athletics during a critical moment in 
        our Nation's history: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) supports the recognition of Interscholastic Athletic 
        Administrators' Day;
            (2) commends athletic administrators for their commitment 
        and leadership provided to student-athletes at the secondary 
        school level, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic; and
            (3) commends the National Interscholastic Athletic 
        Administrators Association as the leading organization that 
        prepares those who lead secondary school athletics throughout 
        the country, providing education, compassion, and preparation 
        within the profession.
