Observing April 2023, As The 2023 Month Of The Military Child In The State Of Delaware.

Impact

The resolution does not directly amend or create state laws but aims to raise awareness and promote the welfare of military children in Delaware. By designating April 2023 as the Month of the Military Child, it encourages educational institutions, businesses, and community leaders to acknowledge and support these families. Furthermore, it reinforces Delaware's participation in the Military Interstate Children's Compact, which seeks to facilitate the educational transitions of military-connected students across state lines.

Summary

SCR36, also known as the 2023 Month of the Military Child, is a Concurrent Resolution introduced in the Delaware General Assembly. The resolution aims to recognize and honor the contributions of military children who experience unique challenges due to the service of their parents in the Armed Forces. It highlights the commitment of the state to assist military families and acknowledges the important role that military-connected children play in their communities and schools.

Sentiment

The sentiment towards SCR36 is largely positive, with wide support among legislators and educational officials. The resolution has sparked a sense of community and recognition for the specific needs of military families. Recognizing the Month of the Military Child serves as an opportunity for citizens and institutions to express gratitude toward military children and their families, fostering a supportive environment for those who serve.

Contention

While SCR36 has received support across various political lines, potential points of contention could arise around the ways in which state resources are allocated to support these military families. Critics may argue that while recognition is important, actual support services for military children and families could require further legislative action or funding to be truly effective. Nevertheless, the resolution serves as a foundational step in honoring those families and advocating for their needs.
