These taxpayers, private citizens, should be honored by having state facilities named after them.

Reps. Prusi, Anthony, Tesanovich and Gagliardi offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 124.

A resolution honoring the 1997 National History Day Champions - National Mine Middle School.

Whereas, It is with great pride and extreme pleasure that we commend the National Mine Middle School National History Day Team: Meredith Lamb, Ariana Jeske, Michelle Morisette, and Christie Gibbons, their teachers, and the staff and parents of NICE Community School District upon the team's selection to receive honors from the University of Maryland as the 1997 National History Day Champions. The students competed with seventy-eight entries from around the United States to earn top honors in the junior media group for its audiovisual project: "Polio: A Tragic Epidemic Defeated By A Triumphant Vaccine." This recognition, coupled with their recognition as Michigan's Best of State, is a well-earned milestone, symbolic of innovation, planning, and the personal commitment of many people who share the belief that education is one of the greatest gifts we can give our children; and

Whereas, In keeping with Red Dust tradition, the level of excellence reflected by these National Mine Middle School students is attributed to a unity of purpose that brings together all the elements of a successful learning environment. By using a team approach, these students will be able to deal effectively with the wide range of influences necessary to prepare them for the challenges of tomorrow. With the fine record these academic students have achieved, this team of disciplined students have generated great pride throughout the entire Upper Peninsula; and

Whereas, Principal Maxine Honkala, Superintendent Ron Kulie, and all the good parents of the National Mine Middle School realize that a key part of achieving great results is by expecting great results, or as was more aptly stated by President John F. Kennedy, "For of those to whom much is given, much is required." The 1997 National History Day team has proved this theory by successfully applying the knowledge they have gained to become national champions. Clearly, the fortunate students at NICE Community School District - National Mine Middle School are well along the path to a quality education; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That in the spirit of Red Dust, this document is offered to congratulate the 1997 National History Day Champions: Meredith Lamb, Ariana Jeske, Michelle Morisette, and Christie Gibbons, their advisors, Sharon Richards, Bobbi Ameen, Principal Honkala, teachers, staff, and parents of the NICE Community School District - National Mine Middle School upon the team's recognition as the 1997 National History Day Champions. In the face of challenge and pressure, this group of young people maintained their focus and accepted nothing less than their best. We look forward to their continued excellence, we commend the example they have set for those who follow in their footsteps, and we wish them well in their future endeavors; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the National History Day team from National Mine Middle School as evidence of our esteem for their accomplishments.

Pending the reference of the resolution to a committee,

Rep. Gagliardi moved that Rule 77 be suspended and the resolution be considered at this time.

The motion prevailed, 3/5 of the members present voting therefor.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted, a majority of the members serving voting therefor.

 

 

Reps. Willard, Ciaramitaro, Wallace, Fitzgerald, Cropsey, Nye and Gubow offered the following concurrent resolution:

House Concurrent Resolution No. 49.

A concurrent resolution to call for the House of Representatives and the Senate to draft resolutions in plain English.

Clear communication is vital to the success of any operation. This is especially true in how government operates. People need to understand the workings of our democracy and the documents created by its institutions.

While not every issue or action can be simplified to the same level, there are several steps the legislature can take to remove barriers to communications. One area where antiquated language can be removed is how resolutions are drafted. Removing meaningless expressions can be an important symbol of sensitivity to the need to make our actions and documents as clear as possible.

The use of archaic words and phrases, including "whereas" and "now, therefore, be it," adds nothing to explaining actions the legislature takes in considering and adopting resolutions. Instead, they only make the documents more cumbersome.

In recent years, the legal community has tried to promote clearer language. The State Bar of Michigan has been particularly active in trying to discourage "legalese." Through legislation dealing with several other issues, including contracts, insurance, and judicial matters, the legislature has enacted sections of law to require plain English in various documents.

It is Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That we call for the House of Representatives and the Senate to draft resolutions in plain English.

The concurrent resolution was referred to the Committee on House Oversight and Ethics.

Rep. Stallworth offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 125.

A resolution to create a special committee to study the issue of mergers between middle schools and high schools.

Whereas, As school districts adapt to changes in education, community and student needs, and limited resources, some school officials are looking into mergers between middle schools and high schools. This option involves many considerations that need to be examined thoroughly; and

Whereas, Any local school district thinking about merging a middle school with a high school must prepare for the unique emotional needs of young people as well as the academic factors involved. Decisions on combining middle and high school students must account for the huge range of maturity levels and how best to safeguard our young people. Advantages and opportunities for the district and for certain students from bringing schools together must be balanced against potential problems for other students; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we create a special committee to study the issue of mergers between middle schools and high schools. The special committee shall consist of five members of the House to be appointed in the same manner as standing committees are appointed, and shall function during the 1997 and 1998 Regular Sessions of the Legislature, the interim between the 1997 and 1998 Regular Sessions of the Legislature, and until December 31, 1998. The special committee shall develop standards and guidelines on issues related to the mergers of middle schools and high schools and shall make recommendations to the House Education Committee and forward copies of its findings to the State Board of Education.
