                               RESOLUTION


 
 Recognizing the valuable contributions of military impacted schools, 
teachers, administration, and staff for their ongoing contributions to 
                  the education of military children.

Whereas there are approximately 750,000 school-aged children of members of the 
        active duty Armed Forces in the United States;
Whereas there are approximately 650,000 of these military children served in 
        public schools across the United States;
Whereas there are approximately 100,500 military children served in Department 
        of Defense Education Activity schools in the United States and overseas;
Whereas schools serving military installations stress the importance of being 
        aware of what is happening in the world and the impact of world events 
        on the lives of military families;
Whereas schools serving military installations can provide students a sense of 
        safety and reassurance;
Whereas schools serving military installations understand the importance of 
        providing a normal environment and regular routine for children of 
        parents in the military before learning can ever take place;
Whereas such schools can offer increased counseling for military children due to 
        the deployment of family members;
Whereas such schools can offer additional counseling for staff, many of whom are 
        spouses, parents, brothers, and sisters of deployed members of the Armed 
        Forces;
Whereas schools serving military installations often have additional security 
        measures in place and are continually looking at further security 
        measures for their schools;
Whereas schools serving military installations serve students whose parents can 
        be deployed for long periods of time and often with short notice;
Whereas teachers and counselors working in schools serving military 
        installations are trained to work with military children and their 
        classmates when there is a service-related incident or death;
Whereas school districts surrounding military installations can assist other 
        school districts impacted by National Guard and Reserve deployments with 
        support for students; and
Whereas the Impact Aid program provides support for military impacted schools in 
        their efforts to serve students: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) recognizes the contributions of the teachers, 
        administration, and staff of Military Impacted Schools and the 
        Department of Defense Education Activity schools world-wide; 
        and
            (2) commends the teachers in military impacted communities 
        who work on the front lines at home to educate students during 
        times of peace and times of conflict.
