Mr. HUSTED (for himself and Mr. Lujan) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary:
S. Res. 867
Whereas the Senate recognizes that interscholastic athletic
administrators are educational leaders, and that the work of
interscholastic athletic administrators advances physical,
academic, social, emotional, and leadership development
through education-based athletics;
Whereas the role of athletic administrators in the
educational landscape has expanded far beyond managing sports
programs;
Whereas athletic administrators serve as essential
educational leaders who shape school culture, foster safe and
inclusive learning environments, ensure compliance with State
and Federal regulations, develop leadership through
athletics, protect the well-being of student athletes, and
strengthen relationships among schools, families, and
communities;
Whereas well-supported athletic administrators play a
significant role in the success of educational institutions
by playing a vital role in risk management through emergency
preparedness, student safety, and protection of school
districts, and through sound leadership, responsible
governance, and fostering a positive and effective athletic
environment;
Whereas interscholastic athletic programs play a critical
role in forming a well-rounded educational experience for
students and ensuring that all youth have access and
opportunities to participate in sports;
Whereas school sports remain an affordable opportunity for
families, as the cost of non-school sports is rising;
Whereas participation in sports is proven to improve
concentration, memory, and academic behavior, such as school
attendance;
Whereas participation in sports results in higher levels of
confidence and self-esteem and reduces the risk of suicidal
thoughts and other mental health struggles in teenagers and
young adults;
Whereas research shows that participation in sports can
reduce the rate of youth violence and crime by providing
youth with access to personal and professional growth
opportunities;
Whereas participation in sports plays a critical role in
the development of leadership skills and resiliency in
students;
Whereas interscholastic athletic administrators—
(1) serve as leaders and experts, working tirelessly every
day to ensure the safety and well-being of all student
athletes;
(2) often work long and unpredictable hours to ensure that
every student athlete has access to the training and
assistance they need; and
(3) are dedicated to the athletic, academic, and personal
development of students and players, building mature and
hardworking young men and women;
Whereas more than 8,000,000 high school student athletes in
the United States rely on the hard work of interscholastic
athletic administrators for guidance, coaching, and
mentorship;
Whereas the athletic programs led by interscholastic
athletic administrators promote values of leadership,
service, hard work, and teamwork in schools and communities;
and
Whereas interscholastic athletic administrators serve on
the front lines of education, creating opportunities that
teach civic engagement, character, teamwork, perseverance,
and servant leadership while preparing students for success
beyond graduation: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Senate—
(1) designates the week of September 14 through September
20, 2026, as “Interscholastic Athletic Administrators
Week”;
(2) commends the commitment and leadership of
interscholastic athletic administrators;
(3) recognizes the critical role school athletic programs
play in student leadership development; and
(4) commends the leadership of the National Interscholastic
Athletic Administrators Association in advancing education-
based athletics through professional development, leadership
training, certification, mentoring, and advocacy on behalf of
interscholastic athletic administrators across the United
States.
