Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim March 3, 2025, as Social Emotional Learning Day in the State of New York

This resolution requests Governor Hochul to proclaim March 3, 2025, as Social Emotional Learning (SEL) Day in New York State, aligning with International SEL Day. It does not create new laws or affect specific groups but formally recognizes SEL - a process for developing skills like emotional management and responsible decision-making - through a state proclamation. The resolution cites SEL's benefits, including improved academic performance and a $11 return on investment per dollar spent, as supporting context for the recognition. It is a ceremonial resolution with no binding policy changes.
