Supporting the designation of the week of April 28 through May 2, 2025, as "National Specialized Instructional Support Personnel Appreciation Week".

This resolution aims to designate April 28 through May 2, 2025, as "National Specialized Instructional Support Personnel Appreciation Week." It recognizes the vital role of over a million specialized instructional support personnel, such as school counselors, social workers, and psychologists, who provide essential services to students nationwide. These professionals offer school-based prevention and early intervention, collaborating with educators and parents to create safe, supportive learning environments and address students' educational, social, emotional, and behavioral needs. The House of Representatives supports this designation, commending their use of evidence-based practices to improve student outcomes. It further encourages policymakers to raise awareness of their importance in school climate, mental health, and community safety, while also promoting the sharing of best practices to enhance specialized instructional support services.
