## Summary

**Celebrating and endorsing high-quality public charter schools** as tuition-free public options that expand educational choice and innovation. The resolution congratulates students, families, teachers, leaders, and staff and supports National Charter Schools Week, May 11–17, 2025. It describes charter schools as publicly authorized, often using lotteries when seats are limited, held to the same Elementary and Secondary Education Act accountability rules as other public schools, and required to show ongoing success or risk closure. The text cites a 2023 Stanford report finding low-income charter students gain about 16 more days of reading and 6 more days of math learning per year and notes roughly 8,000 charter schools served about 3.7 million students in 2021–2022.
