                                 ______
                                 

      SENATE RESOLUTION 486--RECOGNIZING INTERSCHOLASTIC ATHLETIC 
                ADMINISTRATORS' DAY ON DECEMBER 14, 2021

  Mr. BRAUN (for himself, Mr. Murphy, Mr. Young, Mr. Rubio, and Mrs. 
Capito) submitted the following resolution; which was considered and 
agreed to:
       Whereas, each December, the Senate recognizes the positive 
     contributions of interscholastic athletic administrators;
       Whereas the position of school athletic administrator is 
     recognized as a profession, which, like other academic 
     professions, benefits greatly from continued education and 
     certification;
       Whereas school athletic programs develop young people 
     physically, mentally, socially, and emotionally by 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 and maturation 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 integrity, commitment to equality, 
     industriousness to long hours, 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; and
       Whereas the athletic programs run by these administrators 
     have impacts that extend well beyond the playing field, 
     athletic venues, and even the school: Now, therefore, be it
       Resolved, That the Senate--
       (1) supports the annual recognition of Interscholastic 
     Athletic Administrators' Day on December 14, 2021;
       (2) commends athletic administrators for their 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 those who lead secondary school athletics throughout 
     the country, providing continuous learning, compassion, and 
     preparation within the profession.
