Expressing support for the designation of March 2025 as "Music in Our Schools Month".

This resolution would support designating March 2025 as 'Music in Our Schools Month' to highlight the importance of music education. It notes music exists in every human culture and that singing has been part of U.S. classrooms since before the Declaration of Independence. The text traces formal school music instruction to 1838 in Boston and cites the Every Student Succeeds Act which lists music as part of a well-rounded education. It says school music boosts engagement, social and cognitive development, and skills like teamwork and persistence. It also highlights unequal access in urban and rural schools and in schools with high shares of low-income or Black, Hispanic, or Native American students, and it calls for more support for teaching and learning music in public schools.
