RESOLUTION

Designating the week of February 21 through February 25, 2022, as “Public Schools Week”.

    Whereas public education is a significant institution in a 21st-century democracy;

    Whereas public schools in the United States are where students come to be educated about the values and beliefs that hold the individuals of the United States together as a nation;

    Whereas public schools prepare young individuals of the United States to contribute to the society, economy, and citizenry of the country;

    Whereas 90 percent of children in the United States attend public schools;

    Whereas Federal, State, and local lawmakers should—

    (1) prioritize support for strengthening the public schools of the United States;

    (2) empower superintendents, principals, and other school leaders to implement, manage, and lead school districts and schools in partnership with educators, parents, and other local education stakeholders; and

    (3) support services and programs that are critical to helping students engage in learning, including counseling, extracurricular activities, and mental health support;

    Whereas public schools should foster inclusive, safe, and high-quality environments in which children can learn to think critically, problem solve, and build relationships;

    Whereas public schools should provide environments in which all students have the opportunity to succeed beginning in their earliest years, regardless of who a student is or where a student lives;

    Whereas Congress should support—

    (1) efforts to advance equal opportunity and excellence in public education;

    (2) efforts to implement evidence-based practices in public education; and

    (3) continuous improvements to public education;

    Whereas every child should—

    (1) receive an education that helps the child reach the full potential of the child; and

    (2) attend a school that offers a high-quality educational experience;

    Whereas Federal funding, in addition to State and local funds, supports the access of students to inviting classrooms, well-prepared educators, and services to support healthy students, including nutrition and afterschool programs;

    Whereas teachers, paraprofessionals, and principals should provide students with a well-rounded education and strive to create joy in learning;

    Whereas superintendents, principals, other school leaders, teachers, paraprofessionals, and parents make public schools vital components of communities and are working hard to improve educational outcomes for children across the country; and

    Whereas the week of February 21 through February 25, 2022, is an appropriate period to designate as “Public Schools Week”: Now, therefore, be it

Resolved,

That the Senate designates the week of February 21 through February 25, 2022, as “Public Schools Week”.
