AI Summary
This resolution recognizes September as Student Parent Month in California, highlighting the significant population of student parents in the state - approximately 300,000 undergraduate and over 100,000 graduate student parents who are raising more than half a million children. The resolution acknowledges the unique challenges faced by student parents, including higher additional attendance costs, feelings of disconnection on campuses, and lower degree completion rates, while also recognizing their academic strengths, such as having higher grade point averages than their peers. The resolution encourages policymakers, higher education institutions, leaders, and communities to support student parents, building on recent California legislation like Assembly Bill 2881 (which provides priority registration for student parents) and Assembly Bill 2458 (which helps student parents afford and complete their education). By designating September as Student Parent Month, the resolution aims to increase visibility and support for this student population, ultimately supporting California's goal of 70 percent postsecondary education attainment by 2030. The Chief Clerk of the Assembly is instructed to distribute copies of the resolution to the author for appropriate distribution.
