SJR 93 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

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

SJR 93 designates the first full week of May each year as "Teacher Appreciation Week" in New Jersey, recognizing the contributions of all public school teachers statewide. The resolution requests the Governor issue an annual proclamation to encourage public observance of this week, aligning with the nationally recognized "National Teacher Appreciation Week" established in 1985. This is a symbolic gesture - no new funding or policy changes are created - and directly affects New Jersey's educators by formally honoring their work each May. The resolution cites teachers' efforts during the pandemic as context for the designation.
