Designates last Friday in March of every year "Social-Emotional Learning Day."
AJR 120 designates the last Friday in March of every year as "Social-Emotional Learning Day" in New Jersey. The resolution requests the Governor issue an annual proclamation encouraging schools, organizations, and communities to observe the day through activities promoting social-emotional learning (SEL). SEL refers to skills like managing emotions, building relationships, and making responsible decisions - core competencies highlighted in the bill. This is a symbolic recognition effort with no new requirements for schools or funding, affecting all public and community entities across the state.
