## Summary

**This resolution would designate March 2025 as "Music in Our Schools Month" and highlight support for music education.** It recognizes music's long role in U.S. schools and its cultural value. The text cites research that school music boosts student engagement, social and cognitive skills, and workforce-relevant habits like teamwork and persistence. It also calls out uneven access to high-quality music programs, especially in urban and rural schools and those serving many low-income, Black, Hispanic, or Native American students, and urges more support for music teaching in public schools.
