SR 73 California Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Relative to school governance.

This Senate Resolution recognizes and celebrates school board members across California for their work in public education. It declares January 2026 as School Board Recognition Month to honor the dedication of nearly 5,000 locally elected school board members who serve on over 1,000 school districts and county offices of education. The resolution urges community members to support local school boards and work together to improve the education system for all children. This is a commemorative measure rather than a policy change, as it does not alter existing laws or regulations.

MODERATE

The substantive content of SR 73 is unchanged between the introduced and enrolled versions. The resolution still proclaims January 2026 as School Board Recognition Month in California. All changes are technical and formatting-related, reflecting the transition from an introduced bill to an enrolled (adopted) version.

TECHNICAL

Header reformatted to include 'senate, california legislature-2025-26 regular session' designation, which is standard for enrolled versions.

Coauthors (Senators Allen, Cortese, Dahle, McGuire, and Ochoa Bogh) were removed from the enrolled version header; only Senator Choi is listed as introducer.

Body text reformatted from numbered-line format to clean paragraph format without line numbers, which is standard for enrolled documents.

Attestation line added: 'Attest: Secretary of the Senate,' confirming formal adoption.

TIMELINE

Adoption date added at the end: 'Senate Resolution No. 73 read and adopted by the Senate February 13, 2026.'
