	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SCR 70, Bates. Student Safety Month.
   This bill would designate the month of June 2015 as Student Safety
Month, and would recognize the importance of providing young people
with a learning environment and foundation that will promote
successful careers and that will be the force to help California grow
and prosper.




   WHEREAS, In the State of California, children, youth, and young
adults under 25 years of age comprise roughly one-third of the state'
s population; and
   WHEREAS, The youth of California are among the state's greatest
assets, and are an important indicator of our future prosperity. The
youth of the state are tomorrow's entrepreneurs, educators, and
community leaders, and need the education and training to participate
and succeed in the global economy; and
   WHEREAS, The youth of California are human beings entitled to
dignity, respect, equality, and a life free from violence and
harassment. Violence and harassment can have lifelong negative
impacts on an individual's self-esteem, mental and physical health,
growth, and opportunity for advancement; and
   WHEREAS, All California children deserve a safe and high-quality
education; and
   WHEREAS, The safety and well-being of many students, teachers, and
school staff are jeopardized by crime, violence, and other issues,
such as substance abuse, gangs, vandalism, sexual violence,
harassment, bullying, and absenteeism in our schools; and
   WHEREAS, Students should be ensured of a safe elementary and
secondary education that is free from disruption so that they can
grow and develop in healthy and positive ways and lead happy and
fulfilling lives and are prepared to either enter into the workforce
or start a successful college career; now, therefore, be it
   Resolved by the Senate of the State of California, the Assembly
thereof concurring, That the Legislature designates the month of June
2015 as Student Safety Month; and be it further
   Resolved, That the Legislature recognizes the importance of
providing young people with a learning environment and foundation
that will promote successful careers and that will be the force to
help California grow and prosper; and be it further
   Resolved, That the Secretary of the Senate transmit copies of this
resolution to the author for appropriate distribution.
