This resolution supports the designation of April 27 through May 1, 2026, as "National Specialized Instructional Support Personnel Appreciation Week." It recognizes the crucial role of over one million specialized instructional support personnel, such as school counselors, social workers, psychologists, and nurses, who provide essential school-based prevention and early intervention services to students across the United States. These professionals work collaboratively to reduce barriers to learning, deliver educational, social, emotional, and behavioral interventions, and create safe, supportive environments conducive to student success. The resolution commends their evidence-based practices that improve academic performance and overall student well-being. It further encourages Federal, State, and local policymakers to raise awareness of their importance in education, mental health, and community safety efforts, while also promoting the sharing of best practices.
