A resolution designating the week of February 24 through February 28, 2025, as "Public Schools Week".
SRES 96 is a symbolic Senate resolution designating February 24-28, 2025, as "Public Schools Week" to honor public education. It does not create new laws, allocate funding, or directly affect any specific group - it is a non-binding recognition of public schools' role in U.S. communities. The resolution includes supportive statements about public education's importance but contains no policy mechanisms or requirements. This designation is intended to raise awareness and appreciation for public schools nationwide. As a procedural resolution, it has no legal effect beyond the symbolic recognition.
