society1 economy1 and citizenry of the

children in the ,united ,states attend  
public schools2 ,whereas local1 ,state1

 public schools and empower local       
education leaders to implement1 manage1 
and lead school districts in partnership
 with educators1 parents1 and other     
local education stakeholders and        
learning communities2 ,whereas local1   
,state1 and ,federal lawmakers should   

support such necessities as counseling1 
extracurricular activities1 and mental  
health supports that are critical to    
help students engage in learning2       
,whereas inclusive and safe high-quality
 public schools are where children learn
 to think critically1 problem solve1 and
 build relationships2 ,whereas public   
schools should provide an environment   
where all students can succeed beginning

,whereas educators include teachers1    
paraprofessionals1 and principals who   
provide a well-rounded and complete     
curriculum and create joy in learning2  
,whereas the ,nation's school buildings 
should have class sizes small enough to

after-school programs when needed2      
,whereas students1 teachers1 and

schools vital components of the         
community2 ,whereas parents and         
communities are working hard to improve
