Bill Summary · SR 70

Legislative bill overview

SR 70 is a commemorative resolution that honors the Pickerington High School North cheer team for winning the 2025 OASSA (Ohio Association of Secondary School Administrators) Division 1 State Cheer Championship. The resolution formally recognizes this athletic achievement at the state legislative level and was adopted on March 25, 2025.

Why is this important

State recognition resolutions serve to celebrate local achievements and acknowledge student excellence, which can boost community pride and school morale. While largely ceremonial, such resolutions demonstrate legislative attention to student accomplishments and can provide official recognition that may be meaningful for the students' records and school history.

Potential points of contention

  • Use of legislative time: Some observers question whether state legislatures should spend time on ceremonial resolutions for individual sports teams when other policy matters may require attention
  • Equity concerns: Questions about whether similar recognition is extended equally to all schools and athletic programs, or if some communities receive disproportionate legislative attention
  • Precedent setting: Adoption of many individual team resolutions could create expectations for recognizing every state championship team, potentially overwhelming legislative calendars
