Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim December 2, 2026, as Special Education Teacher Awareness Day in the State of New York

This bill asks Governor Kathy Hochul to officially designate December 2, 2026, as Special Education Teacher Awareness Day in New York State. The resolution honors the work of special education teachers by recognizing their role in supporting students with disabilities to achieve independence and equal access to education. It does not change any laws or policies but serves as a formal declaration to acknowledge the efforts of educators who develop individualized learning plans for approximately 500,000 students in the state. The text is then sent to the governor and special education teachers to mark the occasion.
