Introduced
Summary
Would designate April 27 through May 1, 2026, as National Specialized Instructional Support Personnel Appreciation Week. It would honor more than 1,000,000 specialized instructional support personnel — including school counselors, school social workers, school psychologists, school nurses, occupational and physical therapists, art and music therapists, speech‑language pathologists, and audiologists — and recognize their roles in prevention, early intervention, student mental health, reducing drug use, and improving school safety and academic climate. The resolution also commends these professionals, urges policymakers to raise awareness, and encourages sharing evidence‑based practices to expand access to their services.
