Plain-English Summary

The proposal would officially recognize the week of April 28 through May 2, 2025, as "National Specialized Instructional Support Personnel Appreciation Week" to honor school staff members like speech therapists, counselors, psychologists, and special education aides who provide targeted support to students with disabilities and special needs. This designation would raise awareness about the important work these professionals do in helping students succeed academically and socially. The recognition would apply nationally but does not create any new programs or funding.
