Bill > HR1027

This resolution expresses support for Arkansas's participation in the Crisis Recovery Support Network coordinated by the Southern Regional Education Board (SREB), a organization with a 75-year history of partnering with states to improve education. The resolution acknowledges that after natural disasters, school shootings, and other public emergencies, recovery is a long-term process that requires sustained support for students, teachers, and communities. Recognizing that schools, especially in rural areas, often lack sufficient counseling resources, the resolution supports the SREB's efforts to deploy specialized counselors with psychological first aid training to schools and postsecondary institutions in extreme need. The network will hire a coordinator, cover counselor travel costs, and provide a consistent, region-wide counseling capacity that can be quickly deployed after a crisis. The resolution emphasizes that adequate post-crisis support can help students succeed academically, remain in school, and positively contribute to society. As a final administrative step, upon adoption, a copy of the resolution will be provided to the SREB by the Chief Clerk of the House of Representatives.
