       A resolution (S. Res. 607) recognizing the month of October

  Mr. BROWN of Ohio. I ask unanimous consent the resolution be agreed

  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  The resolution (S. Res. 607) was agreed to.
  The preamble was agreed to.
  The resolution, with its preamble, reads as follows:

                              S. Res. 607

       Whereas the National Association of Elementary School 
     Principals and the National Association of Secondary School 
     Principals have declared the month of October 2010 as 
     ``National Principals Month'';
       Whereas school leaders are expected to be educational 
     visionaries, instructional leaders, assessment experts, 
     disciplinarians, community builders, public relations 
     experts, budget analysts, facility managers, special programs 
     administrators, and guardians of various legal, contractual, 
     and policy mandates and initiatives, as well as being 
     entrusted with our young people, our most valuable resource;
       Whereas principals set the academic tone for their schools 
     and work collaboratively with teachers to develop and 
     maintain high curriculum standards, develop mission 
     statements, and set performance goals and objectives;
       Whereas the vision, dedication, and determination of a 
     principal provides the mobilizing force behind any school 
     reform effort; and
       Whereas the celebration of ``National Principals Month'' 
     would honor elementary, middle level, and high school 
     principals and recognize the importance of school leadership 
     in ensuring that every child has access to a high-quality 
     education: Now, therefore, be it
       Resolved, That the Senate--
       (1) recognizes the month of October 2010 as ``National 
     Principals Month''; and
       (2) honors the contribution of school principals in the 
     elementary and secondary schools of our Nation by supporting 
     the goals and ideals of ``National Principals Month''.
