Maddy summaryThis bill is a non-binding resolution that urges local school systems to adopt policies encouraging student civic and political participation.

The resolution aims to promote student engagement in their communities but does not mandate any specific actions or changes to existing laws. As a symbolic measure, it relies on voluntary adoption by school districts rather than creating enforceable requirements.
