Legislative bill overview

Bill K 919 is a commemorative resolution that officially congratulates the Shenendehowa High School Girls Varsity Cross Country Team and Head Coach Rob Cloutier for winning the New York State Federation Cross Country Team Championship. The bill was introduced on February 2, 2026, and adopted on February 3, 2026.

Why is this important

Commemorative resolutions like this serve to officially recognize exceptional athletic achievements at the state level and honor the dedication of student-athletes and coaches. Such recognitions contribute to school pride, community recognition, and can inspire future generations of athletes.

Potential points of contention

  • Legislative resource allocation: Some may question whether legislative time and resources should be devoted to commemorative resolutions rather than substantive policy matters
  • Selective recognition: Only one team/school is being honored, which may raise questions about equity and whether other state champions should receive similar recognition
  • Symbolic vs. substantive value: The resolution has no practical policy impact, funding, or enforcement mechanisms—it is purely ceremonial in nature
