HOUSE JOINT RESOLUTION

 
2     WHEREAS, The Illinois High School Association (IHSA) Board
3 of Directors voted on March 19, 2005 to institute an enrollment
4 multiplier, effective this summer, for non-boundaried Illinois
5 high schools with enrollments of 450 students and above; and
 
6     WHEREAS, Those non-boundaried high schools include
7 private, lab, charter, residential, and magnet schools; and
 
8     WHEREAS, The IHSA Board President, who is also the
9 chairperson of the IHSA Public-Private Task Force formed last
10 year to study public-private issues, has called a multiplier an
11 "overly simplistic measure"; and
 
12     WHEREAS, The IHSA Public-Private Task Force rejected the
13 proposal of a multiplier; and
 
14     WHEREAS, It is a fundamental right of Americans to form
15 separate schools, if so desired; and
 
16     WHEREAS, It is an inherent right of students to engage in
17 full, free, and fair competition with other students in this
18 State in the spirit of sportsmanship and excellence and in
19 pursuit of the development of natural talents; and
 
20     WHEREAS, High schools typically schedule athletic events 2
21 years in advance; therefore, be it
 
22     RESOLVED, BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE
23 NINETY-FOURTH GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, THE
24 SENATE CONCURRING HEREIN, that an enrollment multiplier for
25 non-boundaried schools with enrollments of 450 students and
