Bill > HR0133

This resolution declares March 2025 as Illinois Whole Child Month, recognizing the need for a comprehensive approach to education that prepares students for success in the 21st century. The resolution highlights current educational challenges in Illinois, including a high school graduation rate of 87% and low proficiency scores in math, English, and science. It calls on parents, educators, and community members to support a "whole child approach" that ensures each student is challenged academically, supported by caring adults, learning about healthy lifestyles, safe in their learning environment, and actively engaged in their education. The resolution urges every school in Illinois to celebrate Whole Child Month by adopting at least one of the whole child tenets and aims to promote a holistic educational strategy that prepares students for college, careers, and citizenship. As a symbolic gesture, the resolution also calls for presenting a copy of the document to the Illinois Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development.
