Expressing support for recognizing the month of May as "Excellence in Education: Merit Day Celebration".

HRES 422 is a symbolic resolution (not a law) that urges the House to support designating May as "Excellence in Education: Merit Day Celebration." It honors individuals, students, educators, schools, and community partners who advance merit-based education systems - ensuring students receive quality learning opportunities regardless of background. The resolution does not create new requirements or funding but asks the House Clerk to share it with educational organizations to encourage recognition of merit-focused practices. It applies broadly to K-12 and higher education across public, charter, and private sectors.
