SENATE RESOLUTION PROCLAIMING SEPTEMBER 14 TO SEPTEMBER 18, 2026, TO BE NATIONAL ADULT EDUCATION AND FAMILY LITERACY WEEK IN THE STATE OF RHODE ISLAND

This bill designates the week of September 14 to September 18, 2026, as National Adult Education and Family Literacy Week in Rhode Island. It directly affects the state's educational community by formally recognizing the importance of adult learning programs offered through high schools, colleges, and community centers. The resolution highlights statistics on literacy gaps and workforce shortages to underscore the value of these programs. The only concrete action required is for the Secretary of State to send a certified copy of the resolution to the Rhode Island Department of Education.
