AJR 83 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Designates first full week of May of each year as "Teacher Appreciation Week."

AJR 83 designates the first full week of May each year as "Teacher Appreciation Week" in New Jersey, recognizing the contributions of the state's educators. The resolution requests the Governor issue an annual proclamation to encourage public observance of the week through community activities. It does not create new programs, funding, or legal requirements - only a symbolic designation aligning with the nationally recognized "National Teacher Appreciation Week" established in 1985. The bill directly affects teachers statewide by formally honoring their work, particularly highlighting their efforts during the pandemic when they adapted to remote instruction for over 1.4 million students.
