The resolution amends the Purple Star Schools Program and Committee, originally established by Senate Joint Resolution 3 in 2021, to extend eligibility for recognition to private K-12 schools in Alabama that support the educational and social-emotional needs of children from active duty military families. This change acknowledges the commitment of private institutions to these families and allows them to participate in the program alongside public schools.
Additionally, the resolution mandates the inclusion of a representative from private K-12 education on the Purple Star Schools Committee, which is appointed by the State Superintendent of Education. This amendment aims to ensure that the perspectives and contributions of private schools are considered in the program's initiatives and recognition efforts.
