HOUSE JOINT RESOLUTION

 
2     WHEREAS, Public summer school programs ensure that
3 children who need extra help so they may make adequate progress
4 and keep from falling behind other students are able to receive
5 the needed services; and
 
6     WHEREAS, Public summer school programs provide enriching
7 educational opportunities for our children; and
 
8     WHEREAS, Public summer school programs help to ensure that
9 our schools are able to meet the strict guidelines set by the
10 No Child Left Behind Act of 2001; and
 
11     WHEREAS, The need for public summer school program funding
12 is great; providing funding will prevent our communities'
13 schools from overextending their budgets as many will conduct
14 summer school programs out of necessity before State funding is
15 guaranteed; therefore, be it
 
16     RESOLVED, BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE
17 NINETY-FOURTH GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, THE
18 SENATE CONCURRING HEREIN, that we strongly encourage the
19 General Assembly to fully fund public summer school programs
20 for the summer of 2005.
