The resolution expresses support for the Southern Regional Education Board (SREB) Crisis Recovery Support Network, emphasizing the importance of long-term recovery efforts following crises such as natural disasters and school shootings. It highlights the challenges faced by states, districts, and postsecondary institutions in providing sustained support for students, teachers, and communities during the recovery phase, particularly in rural areas where resources are limited. The resolution underscores the need for additional counseling support, specialized training for counselors, and the critical role that adequate post-crisis support plays in students' academic success and overall well-being.

The Alabama Legislature calls for a coordinated, region-wide effort led by the SREB to enhance counseling capacity in schools that are in extreme need after a crisis. This initiative aims to complement existing crisis management efforts by focusing on long-term healing and psychological resilience, deploying trained counselors to affected schools, and hiring a coordinator for the network. The resolution reflects a commitment to ensuring that educational institutions are equipped to support their communities effectively during the recovery process.
