The Senate of the 136th General Assembly of Ohio has adopted a resolution recognizing April 2026 as the Month of the Military Child. This observance aims to raise public awareness about the challenges faced by children of military families, who often experience frequent relocations and educational transitions due to their parents' service. The resolution highlights the resilience and strength of these children, who adapt to multiple school systems throughout their education, and acknowledges their ability to cope with significant life changes.

By designating April as the Month of the Military Child, the State of Ohio reaffirms its commitment to supporting military families and ensuring that their children have equal opportunities for success in education. The resolution encourages Ohioans to participate in activities that honor and support military children, recognizing their courage and tenacity. The Senate also directs the Clerk to send authenticated copies of the resolution to Ohio's news media to further promote awareness and appreciation for the contributions of military children.
