A JOINT RESOLUTION TO LET THE PROFESSIONAL EDUCATORS OF THIS STATE KNOW THAT THEY HAVE THE COMPLETE SUPPORT OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY IN THEIR EFFORTS TO MAINTAIN ORDER AND DISCIPLINE IN THE CLASSROOM.
Whereas, the General Assembly recognizes that there is a serious problem with the misbehavior of students in the classrooms of the public schools of this State, which behavior disrupts the classroom, interferes with the learning process, and takes up the time of teachers that could be used more productively; Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:
Section 1.  The General Assembly wants the professional educators of this State to know that they have the complete support of the General Assembly in their efforts to maintain order and discipline in the classroom as deemed necessary to provide an atmosphere of opportunity to learn for each student and an atmosphere of encouragement of the special talents and interests of each individual student.  The General Assembly supports professional educators in any strong, positive efforts they may make, that are in accordance with State law, to improve the educational opportunities available for each and every student in the public schools of this State.
Section 2.  This resolution is effective upon ratification.
